Chapter 113 Night talk!
After Yang Qingyun sent Yadan back, he also went home to take a shower, changed into clean clothes and then rode his bike to Dongyang Electrical Appliances Supermarket.
When he arrived at the supermarket, he saw Ma Caiyun. After parked the car, he hurriedly said, "Aunt..."
"You Uncle Dongyang is waiting for you upstairs!"
"Uh..." Yang Qingyun was a little confused. Seeing that the store was empty, weren't there many people before?
"By the way, aunt, what about those people? Si Qiao and the others..."
"I don't know what your uncle is going crazy. Yesterday I was waiting for you to come back, saying that I wanted you to tell you about selling refrigerators. Today he suddenly changed his mind and drove everyone away, saying that there was something else..." Ma Caiyun was obviously a little dissatisfied.
"Oh, by the way! Qiaoqiao, what you left for you..."
Ma Caiyun moved to the store and gave Yang Qingyun a small black cloth bag. Yang Qingyun opened the cloth bag and saw the Sony Walkman inside. He knew in his heart that Chen Dongyang's arrangement was all because of his own affairs. First, he admired Chen Dongyang a little more.
The air conditioner in the small attic was very cool. Chen Dongyang drank Mao Jian and looked at the book. Yang Qingyun went in and called out: "Uncle Dongyang!"
Chen Dongyang looked up at him and grinned, "Sit down and find a book!" After saying that, he lowered his head to read the book. Yang Qingyun took out a book called "Zeng Guofan" from the bookshelf and opened it from the middle and started reading it with relish.
When Ma Caiyun heard nothing upstairs, she came over and brought Yang Qingyun a cup of hot tea. Seeing that the uncle and nephew were holding a book and reading with relish, she couldn't help but pursed her mouth and thought to herself that birds of birds of a feather flocked up. Dongyang was not soft-hearted about anything, but soft-hearted about books and soft-hearted children who could read, alas...
"Qingyun, have you read "Zeng Guofan" before?"
Yang Qingyun looked up and said, "I have read it. This book is very good, and I still have relish to read it again!"
"Zeng Guofan is a man with some legends. Since you know the story about him, I want to ask you, what is the biggest feeling of reading this book?"
Yang Qingyun frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "I think it's certain and calm! This book describes the spirit of our ancient scholars very well. Zeng Guofan, no matter how cold or heat, ups and downs, no matter what he is in, is his heart still about knowledge, poetry, calligraphy, or the things that scholars are all about.
Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, was ranked first-ranked. He did not feel much glory, but he got a good sentence by hand and focused on compiling a good book. His joy seemed to be better than being an official.
Zeng made friends and chatted with his subordinates and colleagues. Most of them did not talk about the level of official positions, salary, knowledge, and joked about couplets and poems. It was really wise. Compared with Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and others of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this level is worse than that of Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and others!”
Chen Dongyang's eyes lit up and he said, "No, good, you've really read the whole book, it's not easy! It's so busy with his studies, and it's rare to have time to read such extracurricular books!"
Yang Qingyun secretly cried out ashamed. His habit of loving reading was developed in his previous life. He did not go to college in his previous life. After going out, he felt that he was worse than others. After suffering a lot, he worked hard and insisted on studying every day, so he had some foundation!
Yang Qingyun looked at Chen Dongyang, suddenly felt aroused in his heart and said, "Uncle Dongyang, actually I think this book also has flaws, or Zeng's family also has flaws!"
"Oh? Flaws? This is the first time I have heard of this! Qingyun, talk about it quickly, let uncle smell it!" Chen Dongyang picked up the teacup and looked at Yang Qingyun with interest. He put down the book "Travel Record" he was reading, obviously preparing to chat with Yang Qingyun seriously.
Yang Qingyun said: "Zeng was in that era after all. Although his realm and thoughts were much higher than traditional scholars, he was still rigid! His behavior was not gentle and satisfactory, and he was flowing.
I won’t give you any examples. There are countless examples in the book. I will compare you with your current situation in Dongyang, how should you learn from the ancients alive! Your elder is still in terms of social relations. You are very familiar with Yongping’s three religions and all walks of life in Yongping!
I admire Uncle Dongyang for his outstanding determination in this situation. He always remembers the word "right" and insists on following the right path, doing the right things, and pursues integrity everywhere..."
Yang Qingyun pondered for a moment, took a sip of tea, and continued: "But there is a way to say that the right way in the world is vicissitudes. How many philosophy should this short sentence contain?
Where there is sunshine, there are shadows. How should we go to "right"? Officials must act as honest officials, but if all the officials in the world are all black, how can we be honest officials?
Business people have to go the right path, but others play the edge, and others are robbing. How should we find the word "right"? I personally think that Zeng is very good because he just feels that the world is corrupt, and his Zeng family's unique philosophy of life and the way of being an official. But from the perspective of people today, he has many flaws in his actions!"
Chen Dongyang's pupils suddenly shrank. Yang Qingyun's words were not long, but every word was absolutely deafening. It can be said that every word was a gem! These are the things that Chen Dongyang has troubled every day.
These days, business is difficult, but Chen Dongyang insists on taking the right path. But on the other hand, the temptation he faces is also huge. Not to mention anything else, it would be very painful for him to make up his mind to give up the big piece of fat meat at the station.
Also, recently, he made up his mind to close the teahouse, and his monthly investment is 8,000 yuan less than 1,000 yuan. He didn't build a teahouse and built this electrical appliance supermarket. Now that the electrical appliance supermarket is hitting the wall, he immediately felt tight!
You should know that he has so many people now, and everyone has to eat. What should I do if the business has not improved? Chen Dongyang asked himself whether he is too pedantic and has taken the wrong path. Should he go to make a fortune for a few more years while studying in the study every night?
Now that Yang Qingyun mentioned this problem, he hit his pain point immediately, and he immediately became excited.
"Does Qingyun think I shouldn't open an electrical supermarket? Or do I think my path has gone awry?" Chen Dongyang said, staring at Yang Qingyun with a slight displeasure in his heart.
