Chapter 2 A gentleman is not a weapon(1/2)
Zhou Buqi coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Dad, you are wrong. The Analects of Confucius says that a gentleman does not have a weapon. The metaphysical one is called Tao, and the physical one is called a weapon. The word "not a weapon" shows that my grandfather has high hopes for me, abandoning the weapon and seeking the Tao, cultivating himself, managing the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world."
This is a matter of experience.
Such empty, large and beautiful words seem useless, but in fact they are very useful.
It's like "a horse kills a chicken".
Massage cannot prolong life and become healthier, but massage can make people feel comfortable.
The essence of speech is massage.
Zhou Guangshan claimed to be very literary restless. He wrote novels during the period of scar literature and poetry when poetry was hot. After he became rich, he also published a collection of poems. Now he is even named the vice chairman of the Municipal Writers Association.
Of course, from a professional perspective, this is just a nouveau riche's art of seeking fame and reputation.
When his two sons were born, they were more popular due to the times, one was called Jianguo and the other was called Jianjun. However, when his grandson was born, the times changed, and the old man had room to display his artistic talent.
There are three people in the third generation of the Zhou family, Zhou Bubi, Zhou Buqi, and his sister Zhou Nan, who are all named by the old man himself. The first two are taken from the Analects of Confucius, while Zhou Nan comes from the Book of Songs.
Sure enough, this sentence reached Zhou Guangshan's itchy spot. He looked stunned and his face calmed down.
But Zhou Jianjun didn't understand his intention at all. He thought his son was teaching me a lesson. He was furious and kicked: "What a f*ck, I'll tell you to show me every day..."
Before he could kick it over, the old man Zhou Guangshan was furious and said angrily: "Zhou Jianjun, get out!"
Zhou Jianjun was as if he had received an amnesty and ran out of the study.
Zhou Jianguo didn't even look at the useless brother, and his eyes were fixed on Zhou Buqi, and suddenly laughed: "It seems that Buqi inherits your grandfather's literary cells. Then tell me, where did your elder brother's name come from?"
Zhou Buqi said: "A gentleman is circumspect but not comparing, while a villain is circumspect but not comparing. It is also taken from "The Analects of Confucius". I guess... Grandpa hopes that the elder brother can take care of the younger brother and sister behind him without distinguishing each other."
This sentence has made Zhou secretly lose his comparative effect.
Because his behavior is not worthy of his name at all.
However, Zhou Bubi was ignorant and could not understand it very much. He suddenly realized and said to himself: "It turned out to be Ziyue. Now they are laughing at my name, so I have said some of them."
Zhou Guangshan frowned slightly and showed displeasure.
Zhou Jianguo directly exploded.
You idiot, do you give eye drops to the old man?
Fortunately, he was very experienced and immediately changed his focus and said with a smile: "No, I think you are quite talented in literature. Why not study literature at Jida University? It just happened to complete his dream of waking up from his youth for your grandfather. Maybe we can have a writer in our family in the future."
Zhou Guangshan was indeed moved with expectations.
Zhou Buqi sighed.
This old man has a strong desire to control himself. It is true that I am your grandson, not your substitute. What I want is to stand at the top of this era and overlook the world!
This small temple in the Zhou family cannot accommodate me, Zhou Buyou!
"Grandpa, I want to study at Peking University!"
"presumptuous!"
Zhou Jianguo became strict.
Zhou Guangshan waved his hand, no longer had his initial anger, his old face covered with brown spots calmed down, and said in a daze: "What's the reason?"
Zhou Buqi was overjoyed and said softly: "Birds that do not fly out of their nests are always chicks. I have grown up and want to go to the outside world to see."
Isn't this insinuated?
Zhou Jianguo was a little angry, but he couldn't bully him as an elder. He glared at his son fiercely. He found that Zhou Bubi didn't hear anything at all, and looked like he was watching a show.
Zhou Guangshan smiled with a smile on his lips, "Is your wings hard?"
Zhou Buqi said: "I want to give it a try."
Zhou Guangshan narrowed his eyes and looked at him closely. His turbid eyes seemed to penetrate all the fog and miasma and see through his heart.
Zhou Buqi did not retreat at all and faced his gaze.
After a while, Zhou Guangshan shook his head in a funny way, turned to look at Zhou Jianguo: "You two men will go out first."
"father!"
Zhou Jianguo was anxious.
What's going on?
The old man is going to chat with the bastard alone? Isn’t it unanimous condemnation at the family meeting? How did this turn out?
Zhou Guangshan's face darkened, "Go out!"
Zhou Jianguo gritted his teeth, looked at Zhou Buqi deeply, and left with his son.
In the study, only Zhou Guangshan and Zhou Buqi were left.
"Sit down."
Zhou Guangshan pointed to the sofa next to him.
Zhou Buqi was not polite, so he sat over casually.
Isn’t it just a trance!
I don’t believe in my two-life experience and am not the old man’s opponent.
However, Zhou Guangshan had no intention of making things difficult for him at all. He looked far away and said, "Bird nests also have the benefits of bird nests. At least they are safe and have no worries about food and clothing. He flew out, who knows whether they were windy or rainy outside or falcon beasts? Grandpa is old and I don't want you to be like when I was young. That's fighting with your life!"
Zhou Buqi immediately understood the old man's deep meaning and was very surprised.
This is why the old man strongly "bound" his descendants with his own side? Are he afraid that his descendants will suffer? Is it true or false?
Could it be that I have watched too much "Zizhi Tongjian" and used imperial skills to family businesses?
Zhou Buqi said tentatively: "Grandpa, the times are different, and the country is getting better and better."
Zhou Guangshan said: "It is beneficial to stay at home. Even if you become a waste, it is better than being ambitious outside. Just like your father, as long as you are in Chuncheng and are restrained, you will not make a big mistake, and the Zhou family can protect him."
Zhou Buqi said: "Grandpa, no matter how big the Zhou family is, it can't stand the sacrificial sacrificial sect."
Zhou Guangshan waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Your uncle is good at abilities. If Wanchao Group gives him it, it will only get better and better, and your family will pay more and more dividends."
Zhou Buqi curled his lips and thought to himself that it was because you wanted to hand over the group to your uncle that I wanted to go out even more.
"It's that piece of material, it can be put at home, it can be put outside, it can be done anywhere. If it's not that piece of material, it's useless to put it anywhere." Zhou Guangshan saw that he disagreed, and his tone slightly heavier.
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "There is no good material in the greenhouse, and the good material is all wild."
Zhou Guangshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, pointing at him, "Who did you learn from? You are so good at talking."
Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Grandpa, do you agree to that?"
"The wings are hard, just fly if you want to." Zhou Guangshan waved his hand angrily.
Zhou Buqi was overjoyed, stood up suddenly, bowed deeply, "Thank you grandpa!"
Zhou Guangshan picked up the admission letter on the sofa, handed it over, and said earnestly: "If you can't fly, come back quickly. If you fall out of the ground, it will be difficult to go home."
Zhou Buqi took the notice and focused: "Well, I understand."
But I deeply disagreed with it.
Can't fly anymore? How is it possible?
If you take a step back, you can't come back even if you really can't fly. There is still a way out outside, so when you come back, you'll be able to be destroyed by your uncle's family.
Not only can't come back, but you also have to find a way to take away your parents.
After Zhou Buqi left, Zhou Guangshan sat in the study but did not move for a long time. He skillfully rolled up a dry tobacco in his hand, narrowed his eyes into a slit, and stared at the door.
That was the direction where Zhou Buqi left.
Soon, the dry tobacco was ignited, and the irritating smell of smoke filled the entire study.
Against the backdrop of purple smoke, Zhou Guangshan's expression became heavier and he pondered silently, as if he was thinking about something.
...
"Brother! Are you really going to go to the capital to go to college?"
A delicate girl of thirteen or fourteen years old suddenly pushed open the door and screamed excitedly on her face.
She is Zhou Buqi's sister Zhou Nan.
To be precise, she is Zhou Buqi's half-sister.
Her mother, Liu Xiuhui, is Zhou Jianjun's little wife, she has no marriage certificate and no status. The wealthy families, especially the nouveau riche, are not clean. Not to mention Zhou Jianjun, Zhou Jianguo and his son have also raised a lot of women outside.
The difference is that Liu Xiuhui entered the house, was recognized by Zhou Guangshan, and gave birth to a daughter for the Zhou family. She got along well with Zhou Buqi's mother Lou Fangfei and had never had any conflicts.
In fact, there is no conflict. Are you competing for favor? Zhou Jianjun is messing around outside every day and goes home less at night. Not to mention the money, it is all distributed by the old man according to family rules, and no one dares to object.
Especially in recent years, the eldest and second wife have grown older and lost their appeal to Zhou Jianjun. As soon as the two of them decided to move together, they simply moved together.
Usually, Zhou Buqi calls Liu Xiuhui "Auntie Liu" and respects her very much.
He also treated Zhou Nan, the younger sister like a real sister.
"Yes." Zhou Buqi put down his pen and turned around and smiled at her.
