107. Xiaopeng talks about the biography

107, Xiao Peng talks about the scriptures in a row

Hearing Xiaobai's obvious disdain, Avtena said to Feng Junzi: "Does Mr. Feng think that the charcoal in Xiaobai Village is too cheap? Or is it because of no attention to protection and development so that resources are cut off?"

Feng Junzi: "There are both, but the most fundamental reason is not this. The mountain people do not control their own destiny, and they do not realize what they should do. When others tell them how to make money, they listened to it and forgot the ancestral teachings of cutting down the plants. But it doesn't matter. Just don't repeat this lesson from now on, your head must be clear!"

At this time, Luo Shuihan said to the outside in a deep voice: "Old He, come here!"

A man outside who was watching the chef barbecue manager run in and asked, "What are Mr. Luo's instructions?"

Luo Shuihan: "Where did you buy this snowflake charcoal?"

Lao He: "There is no such thing in Zhixu Kingdom. These charcoals are specially imported from the Roba Alliance. I am afraid that only Mr. Luo's family can afford the entire Wuyou City."

Luo Shuihan: "All have been removed! If you change to other charcoal, you are not allowed to use it again in the future!" Lao He was shocked and didn't know what kind of temper Luo Shuihan got, but he didn't ask, quickly directing people to withdraw the furnace and replace the charcoal again. At this time, Bai Shaoliu smiled and said, "Mr. Luo wants to buy shares of Wanguo Motong Bank, but in fact, he wants to protect the snowflake dragon wood in Wuyou City, Miss Vina, and Marquis Lington, what do you two think?"

Luo Shuihan looked at Bai Shao and showed a look of praise. Feng Junzi laughed out loud and said to Marquis Lington in a joking tone: "Mr. Marquis, are you talking about you! If you can't get rid of Xiaobai's mountain, you will be cut down by your family!"

Feng Junzi seemed to be joking, which made Marquis Lington unable to do it even if he wanted to have an attack. Marquis Lington looked up at Feng Junzi and looked at Bai Shaoliu again. His expression was very solemn but there was a hint of sneer that was not easy to detect at the corner of his mouth. He put down what he had in his hand and said, "Mr. Bai told a story just now, and I also told a story. This story is very famous and is almost well-known in the West. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Bai Shaoliu: "How can we know if you don't tell me?"

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Are you going to have a story meeting today? Mr. Marquis, let's talk, we all listen!"

The story told by Marquis Lington is "God's Vineyard", which comes from the Bible. New Testament. Everyone here has heard of this story, including Xiaobai. Because Feng Junzi gave him a Bible, the story is found in the pages of the book. Although everyone knows it, no one interrupts or interrupts. This is a kind of ritual in social occasions.

In such an occasion, if someone wants to tell a story, before he can tell a few words, he will not interrupt and say, "I know, what the story is..." Not only can he not seem to have knowledge, but he can only seem to be rude. If there is anything you have to wait until the Marquis of Lington finishes telling the story, the Marquis of Lington is also very simple-

If the Kingdom of Heaven is compared to a vineyard, God is the owner. One morning, the owner of the vineyard stood at the door and hired people coming and going to work in the vineyard. The price was a silver coin. Many people thought that the conditions were good, and they started to work, fed water and fertilized the grapes to remove the weeds under the grape trellis. At noon, the owner was still standing at the door to hire pedestrians, and the price was still a silver coin. Some people thought the conditions were right and went in. So until the afternoon, the owner was still standing at the door, and pedestrians were constantly accepting his employment in the vineyard to work in the vineyard, and the price was a silver coin.

When the sun sets, people in the vineyards walked out one after another. The owner stood at the door and paid them wages, one silver coin for each person. At this time, the people who started working since the morning were dissatisfied and said to the owner: "We have worked all day, but the people who entered the park only worked for a while in the afternoon. Why are the rewards you give the same?"

The owner of the park replied: "Do you think it is unfair? But this is the condition you negotiated with me before entering the park. It is appropriate to pay you a silver coin. I have neither deceived nor spoken out. We must abide by the agreement. Your accusations against me are unreasonable. What have you lost? You just got what you deserve!"

The story is so short, and after that, everyone was silent for a moment. Marquis Lington had a proud look on his face. This table was full of smart people, and of course it was obvious that he used this story to answer Xiaobai's story just now.

Although the conversation just now seemed peaceful, the meaning of conflict was obvious. Bai Shaoliu was so calm that he admitted on this occasion that he had ripped pants on his butt when he was a child. At the same time, Marquis Lington also claimed that he used precious and hard to find charcoal for barbecue since childhood. What's more interesting is that the charcoal that Marquis Lington enjoyed was made by Xiaobai's villagers cut all the snowflakes and dragon-falling wood on the nearby mountains, but Xiaobai Village did not get the real reward at all.

Marquis Lington used the story to answer Feng Junzi's ridicule, because it was an agreement that the villagers of Xiaobai Village were willing to cut down dragon wood and burn charcoal. His family bought it with charcoal from a young age. Since the price has been negotiated, there is no fairness or unfairness. At the same time, this story has another extended meaning, that is, everyone should only get what they deserve. As long as this is the condition for you to accept, there should be no complaints, and you cannot blame others for getting more.

Thinking of the beginning of the dinner topic, Luo Shuihan wanted to acquire shares of Wanguo Motong Bank through the financial group where Avtena was located. He had to pay a greater price, and it depends on Avtena's attitude. The meaning of Marquis Lington is inevitable, because in reality, the Roba Alliance Financial Group has more conditions and advantages as a strategic investor of Wanguo Motong Bank, so Bai Shaoliu does not have to complain for Luo Shuihan.

It is impossible to say that Marquis Lington's words are unreasonable, and of course, it is not right to say that his words are in the example just now. However, it is not convenient to refute, because he quoted the Bible. For a believer, you criticize the Bible in front of you, which can easily cause unpleasant conflicts. Feng Junzi ignored him, sneered and smiled, and looked proud. He turned around to the newly replaced charcoal stove behind and went to barbecue, as if he had never heard of this story.

Gu Ying, who had not spoken at this time, spoke: "People should only get what they deserve, and they should not complain that others have obtained more. This is indeed the principle of being a human being. I strongly agree with the words of the Marquis of Lington."

Marquis Lington smiled on his face and nodded to Gu Ying, "It seems that Miss Gu is very knowledgeable about the idea of ​​contract theory? It is the beginning of modern Western civilization."

Gu Ying: "But, I haven't finished speaking yet. What should people get? It depends on what he has done, not God's contract. I have no intention of disrespecting God at all. I think the omnipotent Lord you believe in will not deceive you, but the contracts in this world are all set by people. What we need to think about is what is behind the contract. Xiaobai, what do you say?"

Bai Shaoliu was listening when he suddenly heard Gu Ying ask about his opinion. He thought for a while and replied: "Actually, my idea is very simple. If there is such a vineyard at my doorstep, the owner hired workers like the Marquis of Lington, the first day is OK. I guess no one will go the next day. If I want to go there, I will wait until the afternoon. There will definitely be no one in the morning! ...If I opened this vineyard, of course I wouldn't do this."

Marquis of Lington: "Mr. Bai misunderstood. This story is not about hiring workers in the vineyard. If you must say that, you can understand that the owner of the garden doesn't care about your thoughts. If you want to go, go, and if you don't go, you can't blame him."

Bai Shaoliu: "I didn't blame anyone. I don't care about how your vineyard is open. I just want to say that if I don't do this when I open a vineyard, it doesn't matter if you don't care... In addition, I don't like your tone, you must be the owner, I must be a worker? What you said is correct, but your assumptions are unreasonable."

Bai Shaoliu's words were very straightforward, meaning that Marquis Lington could not be born with nobleness, and he should be the owner of the park and he should be determined. At this time, Feng Junzi, who was roasting pork on his back, burst into laughter and said to himself: "This is Luo Garden in Wuyou City, Zhixu Kingdom, not God's vineyard."

Luo Shuihan quickly smiled and said, "Same, God's guest is also a guest of my Luoyuan." He finally covered up the smell of gunpowder in the conversation just now.

At this time, Gu Ying said again: "Mr. Bai's words are what I want to say. God cannot just talk about conditions and not reasoning. I don't think God will not do this. Things in the world really seem to be just negotiations on conditions, but we should all know why in our hearts."

Bai Shaoliu smiled at Gu Ying and said, "Wouldn't it be enough for us to tell our principles?"

It was a bit stiff when he said this, and the atmosphere of the dinner was a little cold. Luo Xi blinked and said, "Do you want to hold a debate? Or is it better to hold a story meeting? Who else wants to tell a story?"

Avtina kept looking at Feng Junzi. She wanted to see Feng Junzi's reaction when everyone was debating just now, but unfortunately Feng Junzi turned around at that time. Feng Junzi was barbecuing meat, and there was a sizzling sound on the silver stove in front of him and clear smoke came out. He was sprinkling salt and seasonings and was very busy. Avtina finally couldn't help asking: "Mr. Feng, has your meat been baked?"

Feng Junzi turned around and said, "It's baked, wife, try my skills!...Miss Wiener, do I want me to bake a piece for you too?" He put the meat on Xiao Yunyi's plate and looked up to speak to Avtena.

Avtena: "Thank you, but I also want to tell a story and ask Mr. Feng a question."

Luo Xi clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, Sister Ana, tell me quickly."

Avtena: "This story is actually a legend I heard in Zhixu Continent. There are some things I don't understand about this legend. I hope you can ask for advice..."

Avtena's story is very interesting. After listening to it, Xiaobai felt that what she was talking about Feng Junzi, and the content was like this-

On the Eastern Continent, there is a group of special people who have powerful powers beyond ordinary people, but they are mixed among ordinary people. Among these people, there is such a pair of masters and apprentices. This apprentice has become more and more powerful and becomes the leader of these special people. However, it is hard to understand that although the apprentice has such achievements, it has no corresponding status in the secular world. Once, he once worked under the director of a small official organization. Even to this day, he is still just an ordinary hotel owner.

What's more special is that master, whose power is so powerful that he is almost invincible in the world, but he finally chooses to give up and forget. He is still an ordinary person in the market, living a life that is inconsistent with his identity. Avtana can understand that people with power do not use it easily, but she cannot understand that the powerful will be willing to live with the weak. As the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, so they should do more things to lead the trend of history, and their achievements and status should also be respected and followed by everyone.

In fact, what she was talking about was Feng Junzi and Mei Yeshi, the master and apprentice, especially Feng Junzi, who almost said the name directly. When she told this story, she kept staring at Feng Junzi, hoping to observe what he had done from his reaction. Does Feng Junzi know who she was talking about? Feng Junzi has been listening attentively, and the expression on her face was also very concerned, but her expression did not change at all from beginning to end.

After Avtena's story was finished, she raised the cup on the table and said to Feng Junzi: "Mr. Feng, I will toast you with a glass of wine, and I hope you can answer my questions." After that, she brought the glass and drank it all.

"What do you want to ask?" Feng Junzi asked with a wine glass, but he was not in a hurry to drink.

Avtena: "I just want to know, what did the person who forgot his power think?"

Feng Junzi: "Maybe he has never forgotten it, but just thinks that it is unnecessary and not what he really wants."

The Marquis of Lington also raised his glass and drank a sip of wine, and said with a faint smile: "Man should do things that are commensurate with his own strength and identity. This is his due status. It is unreasonable for the strong to surrender to the weak."

Feng Junzi also smiled: "That's because Marquis Lington thinks he is a powerful person. For example, you cannot serve Bai Shaoliu, right?"

Gu Ying: "Mr. Feng, why do you always pull things to Xiaobai? Just tell stories."

Feng Junzi: "Okay, let's talk about the matter. Mr. Lington, if it was not you and Mr. Luo who were sitting opposite me, but King Spia and President of Zhixu, I think I am still as different as it is now, but what about you? There is no question of who surrendering to whom, there is only a state where you don't understand."

Avtina's eyes lit up and she immediately asked, "Why did Mr. Feng use himself as an example?"

Xiao Yunyi explained: "He is just like this, he really doesn't lie. This is what I admire the most!"

Avtena: "But I asked the person in the story."

Xiao Yunyi: "No one can say this, you should ask the person in the story. But I can tell another story to explain your story and your questions, especially the Marquis of Lington."

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Okay, today's story is getting better and better!"

The story Xiao Yunyi told is a fable in the ancient Taoist classics of Zhixu Kingdom, which is about a dead mouse.

There is a kind of divine bird between heaven and earth, called Dapeng. Its wings spread out can roll up the clouds of eight thousand miles, and it can sway upwards to stimulate the divine wind of ninety thousand miles. It will not drink the clear spring of the Tianchi Lake, nor will it last. One day, the bigpeng bird flew over from a high altitude, and an owl happened to catch a rat in the woods below. He just killed the rat and was about to eat it. When he looked up, he saw the bigpeng. The owl was startled and grabbed the dead rat and shouted into the sky: "I caught this rat, you are not allowed to rob it!"

Xiao Yunyi's voice was crisp, and she was vivid and had an expression when telling stories. When she imitated the owl and shouted, she made everyone next to her laugh. Luo Xi smiled and said, "That owl is so interesting!"

Avtena: "What then?"

Xiao Yunyi: "Then there is nothing. I saw it in the book, and so much has been written in the book."

Feng Junzi interrupted: "No, no, actually this story is not over."

Xiao Yunyi: "There is still there? That's your fabrication, you can add it yourself."

Feng Junzi followed another paragraph after this story—

The big roll ignored the owl and flew over, and the owl finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, another owl flew over. The first owl said to the second owl: "Did you see it? A bird flew over just now, but it didn't catch the rat." The other owl looked at the dead rat under its claws and said: "What rat is it catching? If I'm so powerful, I'll rob the dead rat under your feet." The first owl said: "Then why didn't it rob?" The second owl said: "Yes, I don't understand!"

Feng Junzi danced like a man singing a double act, imitating two owls talking at the same time, making Luo Xi giggle. After he finished speaking, he finally drank the glass of wine in his hand, and then he didn't look at others and stared at Marquis Lington and said, "Mr. Marquis, have you figured it out?"

Marquis Lington's face changed and was a little gloomy. Feng Junzi explained again: "I have no intention of disrespecting owls and dead rats when I tell this story, but it has nothing to do with what these big rocs think."

Bai Shaoliu nodded and said, "As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, let alone this big world?"

But Avtina asked Xiao Yunyi: "Madam Feng, this story is the beginning of your life. Which book did you see it?"

Xiao Yunyi: "Actually, it's a book that my husband often reads, and I can't read it before I get married."

Avtena: "What about after marriage?"

Xiao Yunyi: "Then I have to watch it. I also need to know what he is watching every day and keep abreast of his thoughts and dynamics in time!"

Five people told four stories at this dinner. The focus of the contradiction was mainly between Feng Junzi and Marquis Lington. Although everyone's conversation was very polite and elegant, the words were not vague. The topic was picked up by Marquis Lington, and Feng Junzi did not give face at all, and inspired everyone to tell stories and Marquis Lington was a mess.

Of course, the audience members who gained the most were all. Bai Shaoliu also understood many things. He knew the truth in it vaguely, but it was difficult to say it so clearly. Gu Ying spent most of the time looking at Xiaobai, and the more he looked, the more he felt, he had many things. He was really open and cheerful. It would be fine to be able to talk freely on such occasions, and he was very calm in the face of poverty and no matter what kind of dignity and arrogance.

Avtina has been paying attention to Feng Junzi. When Feng Junzi smiled and told the story of the two owls, although she was laughing at the Marquis of Lington, the story was also told to her. Looking at his face, I remembered the legend of the great roc, and through his smile, Avtina also felt a transcendent aura, as if she had vaguely seen the young man who had met in her dream. At the same time, she was sighing, the person in front of her was so close and so far, and there seemed to be an insurmountable gap in the middle.

Avtina felt confused. If she wanted to unravel all this and dedicate all her glory to God to maintain the sacredness and firmness of her faith, it seems that she was the only one who killed him! He was the wonderful dream in her life, but also the terrible devil entangled in her soul.

Marquis Lington focused on Avtina at first, and was very proud when telling the story of the vineyard. He deliberately showed off his skills so that Avtina knew how wise he was. But when the topic changed, Feng Junzi compared him to an owl that caught the dead rat. Marquis Lington's anger was transferred to Feng Junzi. Now, even if he wasn't helping Avtina, he really wanted to kill this person!

Luo Shuihan didn't know that Marquis Lington and Avtina had murderous intentions towards Feng Junzi. One of them was struggling in pain in his heart while the other had murderous intentions rose. Luo Shuihan only paid attention to Luo Xi. Today's dinner was worth it, and Luo Xi could learn a lot. The stories I heard today can be understood slowly in the future. This experience is rare. Moreover, listening to Feng Junzi's tone, he was very concerned about himself, which means that he would be willing to help Luo Xi in the future. This is what made Luo Shuihan happiest.

It became dark, and soft white lighting lit up around the transparent pergola, illuminating the pergola like an exquisite crystal flower room. Luoyuan is very big, it is a private beach manor, and the villa is just a main building. There is not only a beach, garden, fitness venue, but also a special fencing room. There is also a small golf driving range with night lighting in the garden.
