Gao Xu said calmly: "To Mr. Wei Chenghua, of course I am grateful. The mortgaged house was his, put in Wei Wan's name, and now Wei Lao seems to live there. My funds always come from the Wei family.

Wei Wan's willingness to help me was based on a personal friendship. And Mr. Wei and I have just met, and it is normal for people to be reluctant to invest easily. But no matter what, I directly accepted Wei Wan's favor and indirectly accepted the help of the Wei family. This kindness will not be forgotten by the younger generations. ”

He said it very sincerely, and under the emotions from the heart, there was no adulteration in his acting skills. This is not at all similar to the conformity performance of "forced by status".

Just like in the past, Zhu Di sent Gao Xu to Yunnan, and even had more unfair decisions, but Gao Xu never really resented his father when he was old. If it weren't for Zhu Di's son, what could he do in a feudal agricultural society?

At this time, Wei Chenghua's eyes were different, and he took the initiative to speak over there: "Xiao Liu is young, and it is rare to have such a heart. ”

Although Wei Chenghua is very low-key in such a scene, he should have seen all kinds of people. In the past, Wei Chenghua didn't look down on people who wanted to slap his face when he turned over, which was normal. Gao Xu's performance is indeed not an inevitable choice.

Wei Zhongming's cloudy eyes patiently observed Gao Xu, then nodded, and sighed lightly: "It's better to be young." Young people are not so secure, but they are adventurous and enterprising. My third brother is old, and of course I'm old, and the years are ruthless. ”

A real young man may find it difficult to understand Wei Zhongming's state of mind at this time, but Gao Xu can taste it, and he has also been old.

Gao Xu suddenly smiled and said, "I remembered a small thing. ”

"Oh?" Wei Zhongming let out a voice with interest.

Gao Xu said with a smile: "I haven't resigned before, but my colleagues from Tiansu Group saw Xiaowan and asked me what my relationship was with the Wei family. My colleague sent me a video to show me, and there was a scene of Xiaowan accompanying you to the party. The colleague concluded on the spot that Xiaowan is not your lover, because you have always been upright, humble and low-key, and your reputation is known all over the world. You are old, but you have stood the test of time, and you must be more famous than the young. ”

"Haha......" Wei Zhongming suddenly laughed heartily. All smiles were on their faces.

Miao Jin also looked at Gao Xu, and when she saw that he was so happy to talk about the main family, her bright eyes also showed a smile as if she was talking.

Because back then, Gao Xu had come into contact with too many powerful old men. When people are old, they can't eat much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the frequency of interest in women is also very low, and many people have begun to value reputation. Of course, Gao Xu didn't care much about this when he was old, but he understood this, so he could easily scratch what Wei Zhongming was interested in.

Wei Zhongming turned his head and said, "Xiaowan, this niece is very sensible, and my favorite person is her." ”

Miao Jin smiled: "Thank you Uncle for praising me in front of people." ”

Wei Zhongming smiled: "I will also praise you after the people." ”

Wei Chenghua said: "This girl doesn't know modesty. ”

Wei Zhongming said to Gao Xu: "I have a relationship with Xiao Liu, I haven't been so relaxed for a long time." Sometimes if you want to feel this way, you can only pretend to be an ordinary old man and experience it in the city. ”

"That's when everyone respects my brother." Wei Chenghua said.

Wei Zhongming said: "In the past, we talked about the superiority and inferiority, the order of the young and the old, although now we say equality and fraternity and the rule of law, but the traditional culture is still there." ”

Gao Xu nodded and agreed: "What Elder Wei said is true. The same is true of the Japanese people I have met, whose society is similar to ours, but the culture is still the same. ”

Wei Zhongming asked casually, "What?" ”

Gao Xu thought for a moment and said, "As long as they don't tear their faces, they will be very deferential and humble to people, very polite and friendly to people, and even give people the illusion of being very liked." But turning your back and telling the truth may be the opposite. ”

"Seems to be the case." Wei Zhongming thought for a while and said, "A few years ago, I followed the prime minister to visit, and in order to sign a trade agreement, the prime minister over there was indeed too humble, and his waist was bent as if it was a relationship between the top and bottom. ”

Wei Zhongming said: "It doesn't matter about cultural characteristics, as long as you maintain a consensus on the rules." Nowadays, most knowledgeable people are more interested in checks and balances and respect for equality. You see, the most powerful people are actually those who have money in the Ming Dynasty, but the character of the elite is better and more far-sighted. ”

Gao Xu shook his head and said, "The younger generation has a shallow different opinion. ”

"Oh?" Wei Zhongming said.

The people around him all looked at Gao Xu strangely.

Gao Xu said a few words casually: "What do people who already have glory and wealth need most?" I don't think it's about unlimited desire and the expansion of power, it's about security. There have been many wars in the Ming Kingdom before, which may make everyone remember it for a long time. Today's checks and balances and restrictions give people psychological expectations and rules to follow. As long as people don't take the initiative to do things, they have a sense of control, which is a sense of security. ”

These words also came from the heart of Gao Xu, when he was already a prince, and a lifetime of glory and wealth can be expected. But for a while, he was still in fear, because the power of the emperor at that time was theoretically close to infinity; There is only one emperor, but there are countless vassal kings and noble ministers.

He paused and said quietly: "The masses and elites, I personally feel that they cannot be judged by morality. ”

Wei Zhongming was stunned for a while, then laughed "hehe", and he said noncommittally (he didn't seem to agree): "Franco's writings have similar views, but everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences. ”

Gao Xu said: "The younger generation is just a family, talking nonsense, laughing and generous, you don't have to care." I usually like to read books the most, but it's all on paper. ”

"No, you have a point." Wei Zhongming said, "Even if it doesn't make sense, as long as you have something in your heart, you can say it." The success of the ancestors and the great powers of the great war was also attributed to the various schools of thought, which were many at that time, and a variety of ideas emerged, resulting in self-evolution. In addition, the major events that happened in the world at that time also had a great impact on us. ”

Gao Xu nodded and muttered, "I remembered an archaeological program. ”

Wei Zhongming raised his head with interest and said, "You say." ”

Gao Xu said: "It's about the ancestors of human beings who lived in Africa, when there were many scattered ethnic groups, some of which became extinct and some of which continued. Archaeologists study stone knives left behind from that time...... All handmade, of course. ”

Everyone laughed a few times.

Gao Xu said: "Those stone knives are different from each other. Archaeologists have found that some ethnic groups continue to learn from the surrounding and improve stone knives, and the stone knives are more numerous and more abundant. And those ethnic groups who don't know how to learn and communicate with each other, there are very few stone knife relics, and they are all eliminated. ”

He glanced at Wei Zhongming: "Look, human beings were just a little better than monkeys at that time, and they knew how to communicate and learn from each other, let alone us modern people?" We have indeed created the greatest

Agricultural civilization, as well as an industrial civilization that has flourished for hundreds of years, but it is still necessary to keep learning and exchange, and enrich the inside. Daming can have today, isn't it the same? ”

Wei Zhongming pointed at him and turned back to educate the juniors: "Not humble or arrogant, humble in mentality." This is what modern youth should look like. ”

The two middle-aged men bowed and said, "Uncle has taught us a lesson, and we still have to learn more." ”

Gao Xu smiled: "The old gentleman has won the award, I just opened my mouth to talk nonsense anyway." It's okay to say something wrong, I'm an ignorant junior, you can take care of it. ”

At this time, when lunch time came, Wei Zhongming got up first and beckoned everyone to go to the dining room to take a seat.

In the quaint dining room, there are professional cooks, young and beautiful housekeepers, and there are probably dozens of people who are responsible for taking care of the family dinner. A round table was filled with delicious food and wine, and it was very hearty.

The taste is really good, and the ingredients taste fresh. But Wei Zhongming and Wei Chenghua both ate very little, they didn't eat a bite of most dishes, only ate some light food, drank very little wine, and then talked and laughed at home.

Gao Xu didn't care so much, he ate a lot, and sat there very calmly eating and drinking.

It is true that Gao Xu is not nervous at all, he doesn't know how many times he has eaten the imperial banquet in the palace, let alone this kind of place. But the most important thing is that his mentality is very casual.

Gao Xu never wanted to deliberately show anything in front of the big shots, because he understood: these people who have a little insight don't care too much about your acting performance, no matter how you perform, others have already positioned themselves in their hearts.

Sometimes everyone snubbed Gao Xu, and he naturally listened without any waves. Although he is a guest, he does not have to take himself too seriously.

So eat what should be eaten, and drink what should be drunk. Where the performance is bad, pull down.

Towards the end of the luncheon, Wei Zhongming left the table, saying that he was going to rest for a while, and asked everyone to move around here and stay for dinner.

Gao Xu ate and drank to his heart's content, and also walked out of the dining room and walked around the door.

Miaojin came out and said sarcastically: "You can actually talk to the old men, is this called things gathering people in groups?" ”

Gao Xu smiled and sneered: "I can also talk to the old woman." ”

"I'm ignoring you!" Miao Jinjiao |

Gao Xu hurriedly said: "Okay, you are a girl, you look more girly than a girl." ”

"Isn't it?" Miao Jin looked at him with a smile.

Gao Xu looked at it for a while: "But you look really good in a skirt and have classical beauty." There is only hair, and it looks a bit of a drama. ”

Miaojin stretched out her hand to gently comb her hair and said, "I don't like that hairstyle, it's very naïve." It's not bad, but you have to marry me first. ”

Gao Xu said in a joking tone: "Is this what everyone can say?" ”

"What era is it?" Miaojin said with a smile.

The two of them walked for a while, and Miaojin finally said more seriously: "You are really powerful, I thought I had to elope with you before." I didn't expect things to turn out like this. ”

Gao Xu said: "If I turn my face and go to the extreme at every turn, won't the Ming Dynasty be spoiled by me?" ”

Miaojin turned his head and said, "Say you're fat, you're still panting." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.
