Chapter 274: Books Like People (2)
"Madame, don't underestimate these eight words, whether you are an official or a general, as long as you compare these eight words, you can see at a glance......" The highest authority thoughtfully gave up the position to Madame, so that Madame could appreciate his calligraphy works. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Picking up the rice paper from the table, the lady looked at it and asked, "Oh, is it really so interesting?" Tell me who you're against? I'll see if you're ...... or not."
The highest authority replied with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is also your acquaintance, you also said that he is a fortune boy, and he is lying in the East Lake Sanatorium at the moment......"
"I have a lot of money boys, how do you know which ..... you are talking about?" Madame gave the highest authorities a nice look. Over the years, there have been many officials who have found names to give gifts to their wives, and real estate stocks and gold dollars have long been relentless. If it weren't for recent events or a large sum of money, Madame would not have been impressed. In fact, there are indeed many people who waste their money because the gifts they give are not expensive enough.
"Wait...... East Lake Hospital? Madame's reaction was quite fast, although the news of Huang Haoran's injury and poisoning is still top secret for the time being, it is obvious that Madame is not among the secret objects.
"It's actually Huang Youchen! Isn't he your right-hand man? You also arranged for him to marry Janssen's daughter, and I have been busy with this for a while...... Why do you remember to compare him ...... now? ā
"Madam, with your understanding of Huang Haoran, do you think that I wrote about courtesy, righteousness, honesty, filial piety and loyalty, how many of them did he do?" Instead of answering Madame's question directly, the highest authorities extended the topic to the eight characters on the rice paper, as if he were really obsessed with calligraphy. But Madame knew that the words of the supreme authorities were words, but in their hearts they were people.
After a moment of serious thought, the lady spoke slowly. Huang Haoran is now in a prominent position, and he is no longer the fortune boy who can be ridiculed at will, so it is better to be careful.
"Since you must ask, then I will say it. There is a saying in advance, my level of Chinese studies is not good, whether it is right or not, you are not allowed to laugh~"
The highest authorities didn't know what the lady was thinking, and looking at the shrewd beauty in front of them, the highest authorities were happy to pretend to be confused, and didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
With the acquiescence of the highest authorities, Madame cleared her throat and began her analysis:
"The four words of filial piety and faithfulness are too heavy, so I will first say that courtesy, righteousness and honesty are shameful.
Etiquette, I think it's etiquette. Be polite when you meet people, and you should also obey the law. Be polite when you see your teachers, be polite when you see your parents, and be polite when you see guests. I think Huang Haoran is very polite in front of you and me, and not only does he do well on the surface, but he is also respectful in his heart, which reflects Huang Haoran's moral cultivation......"
"Yes, Huang Youchen has indeed done a good job in terms of etiquette...... I agree with Madame......"
The encouragement of the highest authorities made the lady more interested in talking, and the slender jade fingers moved down the rice paper and landed on the righteous characters.
"Righteousness: It is righteousness. It means that people should have a sense of justice and the spirit of courage in seeing righteousness. Be moral to your friends, be selfless and help others, and never try to do so. I heard that Huang Haoran has a jealous and hateful personality, and he is very righteous towards his brothers. The few generals under his command now are all old people from when they were born, and it is rare to have a high position but they don't like the new and hate the old......"
"The righteous word is also deserved, please continue to ......advise Mrs. "Mrs. is a woman in the end, when it comes to Huang Haoran's high position but he doesn't like the new and hates the old, there is already a different meaning in his tone. Most of the time it was a thought of the small mistakes made by the highest authorities. In order to avoid setting himself on fire, the highest authorities chose to skip this paragraph quickly.
"Hmph~" coquettishly, it doesn't mean that she is ready to let go of the highest authorities, Mrs. skipped "Lian" and started to say "shame" directly.
"Shame: It's shame. Anything that is unreasonable or contrary to conscience will never be done. If a man is shameless, he is like an animal. "Shame" is also self-esteem and self-respect. Confucius said: "Shame is almost brave", knowing that mistakes are corrected, and doing what is done is not also a manifestation of bravery! I think Huang Haoran has done a lot better than some people in this regard......"
This is clearly a cursing around the corner, and the heads of the highest authorities begin to sweat. Fortunately, he quickly thought of changing the subject:
"What about this incorruptible word? Mrs. deliberately skipped it, presumably because she thought that Huang Youchen was so good at making money, and his family was rich, and he had nothing to do with Lian at all, right? ā
"I don't think so! Although the word "incorruptible" is interpreted as incorruptible in Chinese studies. He believes that a person who is honest will not be greedy no matter what he sees, and should cultivate the spirit of selflessness. I think this is actually against human nature and completely too idealistic. Westerners are much more pragmatic in this regard, believing that greed is the driving force behind human progress. Huang Youchen did make a lot of money, but he did not fill his own pocket, but used all the embezzled money on army construction. I never heard of any scandal related to him. I think that compared to those who only get military salaries and don't know what to do, such people are truly incorruptible! If everyone were like Huang Youchen, the government would not lose to the current point! ā
Unexpectedly tough, the highest authorities were a little surprised by Madame's attitude. But if you think about it, you immediately understand why.
I asked the wrong person~ Although the beautiful woman in front of her is dignified and generous in appearance, she has an insatiable desire and a strong desire for wealth. The highest authorities talk about "honesty" with the lady who collects other people's dollar and gold bars every day, isn't this scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk?
It's better to take a step back and calm down, otherwise if the lady loses a little temper, the official residence will be unpeaceful for several days.
What Mrs. said is very much, Huang Youchen has done the four words of courtesy, righteousness and honesty...... It's not easy, how many officials of the Wuhan government can do these four words at the same time? ā
Finally, the timely statement of the authorities made Madame's face a little better, and after a short rest, she began to continue the rest of the words "filial piety and faithfulness".
"Filial piety: It is filial piety. Filial piety to parents is the duty of children, and filial piety is to repay the grace of parents. Huang Haoran, as a soldier, has been leading the army for many years, and he is indeed far away from his parents. But the word filial piety is bigger, it can also be loyal to the country, this is a big "filial piety", I think he did a good job. ā
"T: It's respectful. It is between brothers and sisters, that is, brotherly love and mutual help. By extension, we should also have brotherly and sisterly affection for friends, so that people can eliminate conflicts and be humble to each other. Huang Haoran is an only son, he has no biological brothers and sisters, only some of them later swore to him, seeing that Jiang Baili can run for him like this, he has also done it......"
In the blink of an eye, the six characters have passed. Although Mrs. explained with some small emotions and caused some bias, it is extremely rare for Huang Haoran to be able to correspond to all of them word for word.
However, the last two words are the real key...... (To be continued.) )
