Lin Ruhai was quite satisfied with Jia Baoyu's answer, so he asked, "Have you ever taken the exam?" ”

Jia Baoyu's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "No, I can't do that kind of article......"

Lin Ruhai's face sank.

In fact, Jia Baoyu replied that "I have read coarsely" and "I have read less", which is really coarse and less, and what he likes to read in the subset of classics and history is also the collection of Zhuzi Baijia and poetry anthologies.

It's a pity that Lin Ruhai obviously misunderstood.

The sisters stood silently and couldn't speak, and Jia Qing didn't mean to relieve him immediately.

Tell you kid to worry about my sister Lin!

Aren't you "out of the ordinary"? Please stick to your personality and brother supports you......

Aunt Zhong smiled and said: "Master, you are too demanding, my brother is still young, studying and starting a career is a big deal, how can you be in a hurry." I think the master was influenced by Qing'er, so I forgot that other people's children didn't get out of the exam until they were seventeen or eighteen years old. ”

Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart, how could this be what he was displeased about. He wasn't surprised that Jia Baoyu hadn't been on the scene, but what did he mean by the phrase "can't do that kind of article......"?

If you don't have enough skills and don't know how to do it?

And wrote down such thoughts, nodded along with Aunt Zhong's words, and said: "Taoism often says: What is the truth of ruling by doing nothing? ”

Like Yu Yuanchen, he is also curious about the two famous sons of the Jia family. Jia Qing is very familiar with him, and he has to try it for himself whether this "Baoyu" in the deep mansion is Puyu or Lantian Jade.

Jia Baoyu said: "Lao Tzu said that the superior should not interfere too much in the affairs of the common people, and achieve the great rule of the world through inaction. ”

Lin Ruhai nodded, and said, "Do you think it makes sense?" If you do nothing, how can you make the world rule? ”

This is the real thing. Does it make sense? Naturally, there is, otherwise how can it be used to teach the world? The key is how do you understand it......

Jia Baoyu actually refused to be taught by others to teach him knowledge, and Lin Ruhai actually asked about the rare concept he pursued, and saw Lin Ruhai nodding at him, he was overjoyed, thinking that since he was Sister Lin's father, he might have some different insights from other Lu beetles!

"The Taoist concept naturally has its own truth. However, I think that although Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi are both the originators of Taoism, Zhuangzi's perception of 'Tao' is higher than that of Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is committed to persuading the king to use 'non-action' to govern the world, but as everyone knows, he has violated the principle of 'non-action' by doing so.

If the king is inactive, why does he need such a courtier? If a courtier is inactive, why do he need officials? If the people are inactive, why do they need the law?

Therefore, Lao Tzu's use of the saying of 'non-action' to persuade the king's ministers to 'be promising' is itself contradictory.

Only like Zhuangzi, who does not enter the official career and hides in a corner, is this the real 'inaction'. Zhuangzi said that people should pursue freedom! As long as everyone is like Zhuangzi, there is no real inaction and no strife, then there will naturally be no more strife in the world, and everyone will be happy, so why do you need great governance? ”

Jia Baoyu finished speaking without pause, and his mood was bright.

Lin Ruhai ...... at this time I almost couldn't believe my ears, and I asked without giving up: "How do you understand this Taoist concept of governing the country?" ”

Jia Baoyu said without hesitation: "Exactly, but I think it is inaccurate for my uncle to say that it is a concept of 'governing the country', I think it is more like a concept of 'governing people' and 'governing oneself', people first govern themselves, and then the world can be self-governed, and there is no need for people to govern the country." ”

Lin Ruhai lowered his eyes, and he finally understood what Jia Baoyu meant. It's just that he can't believe that Jia Baoyu, who has always been praised as "Baoyu", has a one-sided understanding of Jingyi!

The four words of inaction and governance, he only knows "inaction" and does not know the more important "governance". It must be known that the inaction proposed by Lao Tzu should be complete "inaction and inaction"! And whether it is "doing nothing" or "doing nothing", it should be implemented in the end on "governance".

If everyone is really like Zhuangzi and does nothing, then ...... The world can really be peaceful......

But is it possible?

Jia Baoyu's thoughts can't be described as naïve.

is still unashamedly criticizing the sages?

The style of Zhuangzi is certainly admired by the world. However, Zhuangzi certainly did not let the king and his ministers be as willful as he was......

Zhuangzi has always emphasized the cruelty of the king, he said that Wei Jun: use his country lightly, but do not see its faults; The people are lightly used, and the dead are as good as Zeruo Banana in terms of the country, and the people are not as good as they are.

Therefore, Zhuangzi was reluctant to be an official because he felt that the king would not care about the life or death of others, and that he could only be "obedient" if he accompanied the king like a tiger. He was unwilling to be submissive, so he did not become an official.

It can be seen that although Jia Baoyu admires Zhuangzi, he only hopes for Zhuangzi's philosophy of life and political thoughts.

"Then how do you understand the two sentences 'the difficult things in the world must be done easily, and the big things in the world must be done in detail' and 'do it before it happens, and cure it before it happens'?"

Jia Baoyu replied indifferently: "This is just an explanation imposed by Lao Tzu in order to cater to the laws of the world. Since it is said that things must be done in ease and in detail, how can we talk about inaction, isn't this an explanation of 'not doing' in terms of 'doing'? As the saying goes, it is not enough to believe it. ”

Lin Ruhai was completely dead, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Baoyu...... That's it, you can read more Taoist classics in the future, the ancients said: self-cultivation, family harmony, and governing the country. But throughout the ages, there are very few people who can really do a good job of 'self-cultivation'.

You...... If you have extraordinary talent and talent in this way, you will aim to become a sage in the future. ”

Lin Ruhai has such eyesight, and in just a few questions and answers, he can already see Jia Baoyu's distinct personality.

Teaching is useless, so let's encourage him to become a sage. With his family background, it is not a good thing to not enter the ranks, only to cultivate himself.

Jia Baoyu is the happiest, once upon a time, there were elders who were officials who did not encourage him to study and make progress in the examination to gain fame and become an official in the future?

Sister Lin's father is really not a layman.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai no longer talked to Jia Baoyu, Aunt Zhong began to distribute gifts to the sisters of Jiafu.

Lin Ruhai entered Beijing as an official this time, and there will be no shortage of people who need to be visited. For gifts for juniors, it is well prepared.

Jia Baoyu also got a copy, and when he saw Jia Qing standing silently beside Lin Ruhai, he stepped forward and pulled his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go and take it?" ”

Jia Qing glanced at him: "I'm different from you. ”

Jia Baoyu reacted at this time.

Aunt Zhong smiled and said, "Although you are different from them, the master also prepared a gift for you, but unfortunately it didn't move down on the ship, and I will give it to you later." ”

Jia Qing immediately stood up and thanked Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai said: "It's just some books I used before, and I sorted out a box for you." It may have some effect on your participation in the imperial examination in the future. ”

As soon as Jia Qing heard it, he knew that it should be the "information" that Lin Ruhai used back then, although twenty or thirty years have passed, but the things of the imperial examination will not be outdated, this is the notebook of the scholar......

......

After Lin Ruhai left the Grand View Garden, he went to Jia's mother house again to say goodbye, and then returned to Ningguo Mansion with Jia Qing.

On the way, Jia Qing asked him about Chen Shou.

"What do you ask him to do?"

"He once said that he wanted to take the child as a disciple."

Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment and said, "If you worship him as a teacher, it will be beneficial to you and no harm." However, since you have already worshiped Fang Ge Lao as a teacher, if you don't have his consent, you naturally can't worship others anymore. ”

Jia Qing smiled bitterly: "He is a Taoist priest, and the child doesn't want to worship him as a teacher." ”

In front of his close relatives, Jia Qing really lost some hypocrisy, and he spoke from the heart.

Lin Ruhai said: "It's up to you." However, since he has a crush on you, you can get in touch with him more if you have the opportunity, and if you can learn some of his skills, it will be of great help to you in the future. ”

Jia Qing couldn't help but ask: "Why does the father-in-law respect him so much, although the child also thinks that he is not simple, because he is very knowledgeable." My father-in-law wants me to learn from him, but what is his ability that the child doesn't know? ”

Lin Ruhai said lightly: "You don't need to learn most of his skills, and I don't want you to waste time learning, but he has two things that are important to you." ”

"What?"

"Govern the country and lead the army."

？？ Jia Qing was stunned for a moment before reacting: "How is it possible!" ”

"This ...... It's not that children are arrogant, it's just other skills, but these two things are really unbelievable. ”

Governing the country and leading the army, this is a skill that needs to be tested in practice, and it is not like fortune telling, which can be fooled casually.

Besides, is there really an all-rounder in this world? Jia Qing didn't believe it.

Lin Ruhai didn't say anything about Jia Qing's suspicions, but said: "Some people are indeed born different from others. For example, if you were ten years ago, who would have believed that there would be such an outlier in the world? ”

Lin Ruhai wanted to say "demon", but he changed the word, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"You don't have to doubt my words, just remember that a person who can be relied on by Prince Yizhong back then, and who is released by the heart of love and talent in the present, is by no means a person who deceives the world and steals fame.

Back then, even the Emperor Taishang said, "Its talent is better than wind music", which can be seen from this.

It's just that he has been living behind the Prince's Mansion, and the world doesn't know him well. ”

Okay, Jia Qing nodded silently, believing Lin Ruhai's words for the time being.

I have a chance, but I just want to see if he is really as evil as others say.

Is it really a civil and military all-rounder?
