question of heaven
Chapter 10
"I arrived in Kunming this evening. I have been traveling all the way, so I don't want to disturb you. I will come to visit you tomorrow morning with full sincerity. I wonder if Brother Wu is convenient? I look forward to having a long talk with you all night. Gao Jie."
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Xiufeng received Gao Jie's WeChat, and his first feeling was that something was going to happen.He came to the cultural center and told the teacher about it.
Teacher Chu said: "Since he said that, there must be something wrong. Teacher Su is good-natured. Even if something happens, don't worry. We will be waiting for him tomorrow. Please tell Brother Chu and the others about this." Wu Xiufeng called at that time, and they both said that they had already made an appointment and couldn't leave, so they asked Wu Xiufeng to accompany the teacher to receive them.
The next morning, Gao Jie came to the teacher's house according to Wu Xiufeng's address.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Gao Jie expressed Su Youzhou's greetings to Teacher Chu, and the whole room was peaceful and friendly.
Gao Jie said: "My teacher specially asked me to visit this time. Apart from greetings, I have something to discuss with you."
Teacher Chu said: "I respect Teacher Su's knowledge and character very much. You are his proud disciple, so naturally you also respect him."
"Thank you, Teacher Chu." Gao Jie said: "I don't know if Teacher Chu has heard that the goalkeeper is going to carry out a large-scale reform to restore the classic Chinese culture. I heard that the action is very big and involves many aspects."
Teacher Chu said: "I've heard people mention it, but the details are not very clear. This is a good thing, and it should have been done long ago."
"Of course it's a good thing." Gao Jie said, "The question is, who will take the lead in this matter?"
"Isn't there a cultural authority?" Teacher Chu said, "They will naturally take the lead and invite a group of representative people to participate."
Gao Jie said: "According to what we know, this time is different from the past. First of all, the scale is very large and the action is very large. First, someone will form a group to represent the cultural circles to propose a plan, and then invite relevant personnel to participate." Hear here , Teacher Chu and Wu Xiufeng understood the true meaning of this matter.
Teacher Chu said, "What does Teacher Su mean?"
Gao Jie seemed to answer the question out of context: "Have you ever heard of Cao Jianfeng?"
Teacher Chu and Wu Xiufeng looked at each other, both expressing their ignorance.Gao Jie said: "It is said that after the last summit, Mr. Cao has been brooding on his heart, and he has been looking for a talent who can represent him. It is also a coincidence. One of his nephews, Cao Jianfeng, came back from studying in the United States and happened to meet him. In recent years, Mr. Cao has cultivated him carefully, the purpose is to let him represent himself in the cultural circle."
Teacher Chu said, "How is this person's IQ?"
Gao Jie said: "I haven't seen this person with my own eyes. I heard that he is unparalleled in wit. He often doesn't play cards according to the rules. His behavior style is very similar to Teacher Cao. According to my teacher, he is the most powerful disciple among all the students of Teacher Cao. He The emergence of the cultural circle will definitely stir up the cultural situation. Now Teacher Cao and Cao Jianfeng are working hand in hand, one in front of the stage and one behind the scenes. Taking advantage of this opportunity of cultural reform, seven or eight of the people on the list in Cangshan have been arrested. Straight at you and us."
Teacher Chu said: "So, Teacher Su let you come to Kunming."
"Yes." Gao Jie said frankly, "I hope that both of us will be united and resist their tricks." He looked at the time: "Mr. Chu, I have to meet a friend, let's make an appointment."
Teacher Chu said, "That's fine too, Xiao Yang, send Gao Jie off."
After leaving the cultural center and at the intersection, Gao Jie said, "I don't know if Brother Wu has time tonight, let's chat."
"That's good." Wu Xiufeng said: "How about this, I'll treat you to dinner in the afternoon, and chat while eating."
Gao Jie said, "It's exactly what I want, thank you very much."
Just as Wu Xiufeng returned, Chu Xiuxiu also arrived.Teacher Chu said: "Aren't you busy? Why are you here again?"
Chu Xiuxiu said: "Just after the meeting, since Mr. Su's students are here, we should do our best to be hosts. This is polite."
Teacher Chu nodded and saw Chu Xiuxiu's expression of heavy heart.Said: "Is there something wrong?"
"It's all about work." Chu Xiuxiu said: "Today was a meeting to discuss the construction plan of the 'Dianchi Cultural Theme Park'. I received a notice from the higher-ups that this plan was temporarily stranded because of a man named Cao Jianfeng in the Beijing cultural circle. Some people have explained the disadvantages of this plan and think that it should be suspended. I suspect that this Cao Jianfeng has any connection with Cao Lizhi?"
Teacher Chu said: "They are from the same family. Gao Jie told us just now. It seems that this Cao Jianfeng is really not simple."
In the afternoon, Wu Xiufeng and Gao Jie came to a fancy casual restaurant.After ordering, Gao Jie said: "At the last summit, you left a very deep impression on me. It is a great pleasure to meet you today."
"Brother Gao laughed, I have a lot of respect for you." Wu Xiufeng said, "My teacher said, Teacher Su and you are both talented and well-behaved people, which makes people respect you very much."
Gao Jie said: "I have always wanted to have an all-night chat with you. It must be a great joy in life. It seems that it is true. What do you think of what I said this morning?"
Wu Xiufeng said: "First of all, I think this is a good thing, and we should support it without doubt; secondly, no matter who is in charge of this matter, as long as he sincerely wants to do it well, we will not There's any dissent, and we'll add to that."
"I don't know if you have thought about it." Gao Jie said with a smile: "Mr. Cao's actions will exclude both of us from the scope of this matter, and even disqualify us from participating in the summit."
"Of course there is such a possibility. Didn't they think so last time?" Wu Xiufeng said, "Brother Gao, you don't have to worry about it. You have a lot of supporters and they don't dare to treat you too much, but we have something to worry about. "
"Compared with you, I feel that we are a little better." Gao Jie did not evade: "It is conceivable that first you, then us, and finally the dream of the 'King of Culture' that Mr. Cao has all his heart in mind."
Wu Xiufeng said: "Brother Gao, you are well informed, what should you do in your opinion."
"My teacher and I have discussed this issue in particular." Gao Jie said: "This Cao Jianfeng is indeed a formidable enemy, and only Brother Wu can make him retreat from difficulties."
Wu Xiufeng smiled: "Brother Gao means to roast me on the fire."
"Brother Wu was joking." Gao Jie said, "I heard that at the last summit, a disciple of Mr. Cao said that you are just a pawn. You replied, 'As long as what you do is just, even if you are a pawn I'm very proud'. I'll borrow your words today, for the sake of fairness and justice, it doesn't matter if you handcuff yourself." The two laughed.
After the meal, neither of them wanted to leave, so they ordered two cups of freshly ground coffee and continued their chat.
Wu Xiufeng said: "I haven't been in the cultural circle for a long time, but I still saw something. Most people in the cultural circle don't like my teacher very much, and even oppose it. I don't know how brother Gao treats us."
Gao Jie said: "Everyone below my teacher is very respectful and friendly to you. From the last summit to today, you should be able to see that we are very sincere. As for many people in today's cultural circles who do not like Teacher Chu, among There are many reasons; it can be summed up in two aspects. One is the actual interests of those involved; the other is that Teacher Chu has a straightforward personality and perverse behavior, which many people cannot accept."
Speaking of this, he looked at Wu Xiufeng and said with a smile: "It is said that many years ago, Cao Lizhi said in front of many people: 'Chu Mengxiong, even a name is so strange, who should he be'? In the future, as long as you listen to When Teacher Chu's name is mentioned, he will go crazy with anger. I'm straightforward enough to say this."
"Thank you Brother Gao for your frankness." Wu Xiufeng said: I can tell that you said these words without malice. You really deserve to be a Confucian disciple, which is admirable. "
"Getting praise from Brother Wu is like drinking fine wine." Gao Jie said, "Brother Wu, what do you think of the theory we advocate?"
Wu Xiufeng said: "In a sense, I can be regarded as a disciple of Confucianism, because I am convinced of Mr. Kong Lao's Confucianism. In my opinion, Mr. Kong Lao's theory is a real "world-involved" knowledge. He represents No matter how many years it takes, Confucius’ Confucian thought will live forever, not only affecting the current region, but I believe it will affect the entire human world.”
Gao Jie was very surprised: "I didn't expect Brother Wu to have such a high evaluation of our Confucianism. I am really grateful."
"Forgive me, Brother Gao, you may have misunderstood." Wu Xiufeng said: "What I just said from the beginning to the end was Mr. Kong's Confucianism, not a general reference to Confucianism."
Gao Jie said, "Does it make any difference?"
Wu Xiufeng said with a smile: "Brother Gao is such a smart person, why would he ask this question? Is it the so-called 'darkness under the lamp'? I'm still joking with my little brother."
Gao Jie said: "I'm really curious, I've never heard such remarks."
Wu Xiufeng said: "With the knowledge and wisdom of Brother Gao and Teacher Su, you should have understood it a long time ago. Maybe because you are the authorities, you never think about these things from another angle."
Gao Jie said, "I would like to hear good opinions."
"Personal opinion, just for jokes." Wu Xiufeng said: "I think that Confucianism is divided into three stages. One is the Confucianism represented by Mr. Kong Lao, which can be called Confucianism; It is called Mencius Confucianism; the last is Confucianism represented by Zhu Xi and Er Cheng, which can be called Song Dynasty Confucianism. There are essential differences between these three kinds of Confucianism. What I just talked about is the Confucianism of Mr. Kong Lao, and the other two are not worth mentioning. .This is all personal opinion, brother Gao, please don’t take offense.”
Gao Jie was very puzzled: "Brother Wu, you're welcome, I'm not that small. I'm just curious, can you be more specific about your opinions?"
"I'm playing tricks, so please don't make fun of me, Brother Gao." Wu Xiufeng said, "I want to ask Brother Gao a few questions first, why do many people think Confucianism is a pedantic knowledge."
"That's because the times have changed." Gao Jie said: "In the past hundred years, people have admired Western technology and culture. Many people worship the Western concept of 'universal values' and leave Chinese classic culture behind. But they don’t know that this is the root of the Chinese people’s survival. Without this root, China will dry up. Because of this, even in the heyday of Western academics, Confucianism was not completely submerged The good news is that in recent years, there are signs of growing prosperity."
"Okay." Wu Xiufeng said, "Why are there so many people visiting Qufu, Shandong every year?"
Gao Jie said: "Qufu, Shandong Province is the sacred place of Confucianism, where people's spirits are attached. The Confucianism advocated 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and all goodness and filial piety first' is to standardize people's code of conduct and tell people to be a moral and A person with a conscience and abiding by the rules; and this is what everyone needs in his heart, and it is what every family desires to have; therefore, it will naturally prosper and last forever. Now all over the country, families that stick to Confucianism tend to be more harmonious, It’s more warm; especially the people in Qufu, Shandong Province.”
"Okay." Wu Xiufeng said, "May I ask again, why do so many people criticize Confucianism?"
Gao Jie said: "Because China was backward and weak in modern times, people were born to worship foreigners."
"In my opinion, it's not entirely true." Wu Xiufeng said: "First of all, people like to worship in Qufu, Shandong, because the ideas of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, and filial piety' advocated by Confucianism have guiding significance for people's real life. The main reason for its prosperity and development for thousands of years. However, many people now criticize Confucianism, saying that it is a pedantic knowledge. , there must be a deeper reason. In my opinion, it is because the current Confucianism is no longer the Confucianism of Confucius.”
Gao Jie was even more puzzled: "Brother Wu, please continue."
"According to historical records." Wu Xiufeng said: "Before the Warring States period, even at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, scholars were still able to govern the country and fight on the battlefield. There was no such thing as a 'nerd'; therefore, the social status of scholars was particularly high. The change began with Mencius, who misinterpreted human nature, forced distinctions between superiors and inferiors, talked about benevolence and righteousness, and deceived the world. Scholars gradually transformed into "speaking the truth well, but doing things in a mess." The so-called "useless is a scholar ' is the best conclusion. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi and Ercheng even worsened. He self-righteously listed a variety of ethical clauses to bind people like "Zongzi", and used the standard of "sage" to require people to abide by all aspects. , completely disregarding the human heart and human nature. In such a social atmosphere, people gradually lose their individuality, bravery, and creativity, and present a mellow, gentle, and well-behaved appearance. Thousands of people are the same. Everyone becomes like this Now, where can the country be strong?"
He smiled and continued: "Brother Gao, have you noticed that the Confucianism preached in the society is basically the Song Dynasty version of Confucianism, and it is not the Confucianism founded by Mr. Kong at the beginning. Therefore, Confucianism has been scolded by many people. It is not surprising that it is pedantic and useless learning."
Gao Jie didn't speak, as if he was thinking about Wu Xiufeng's question, and after a while he said: "To be honest, we are true Confucian disciples, and the question you just mentioned has never even thought about it. I can't say right now. Wrong, fortunately, we will have the opportunity to talk about it later. Now, I have another question to ask, why is Confucianism the only one accepted by all dynasties in the history of China when there was a "hundred schools of thought contending."
Wu Xiufeng said: "Because Confucius' Confucianism advocated 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, all goodness and filial piety first' just cater to the strong needs of people's hearts. All wise people should understand that human nature and human heart are the way of humanity and heaven. Destruction, how can it last long."
Gao Jie said: "Chatting with Brother Wu was really heartwarming, and I hope to have a chance to chat again in the future."
Wu Xiufeng said with a smile: "Brother Gao is laughing, welcome to Kunming again."
The days are rough but full, peaceful and full of longing.At noon of the day, Wu Xiufeng and Pu Yan came to Teacher Chu's house, intending to drink tea and chat, and then cook together.The three were talking vigorously when two young men, a man and a woman, suddenly appeared at the door.Wu Xiufeng clearly saw that the teacher stopped pouring tea, his whole body was stiff, his face was full of astonishment, and he fixedly looked at the two people who appeared at the door.He had never seen the teacher lose his composure like this before, and only heard Teacher Chu say, "He Miao, are you back?"
Without saying a word, the girl went straight to the sofa and sat down.The boy said politely, "Mr. Chu, hello! My name is Cao Jianfeng, and I came to visit you from Beijing."
Wu Xiufeng heard the name that appeared frequently during this period, and turned to look at him: he was about the same age as himself, with a handsome and handsome face, a complacent expression, and a very proud personality.Teacher Chu didn't seem to hear Cao Jianfeng's words, and still looked at the girl helplessly.
The girl was quite beautiful, and her peerless face contained the delicate temperament that only a lady of the world possessed.She said disdainfully: "Don't act like you care about me, just pretend."
Wu Xiufeng's surprise became even stronger, and he couldn't help but say, "Who are you? Don't go too far."
The girl looked at him, and still said in the same tone: "Where did this talent come from? It's a pity, handsome guy, it's not your turn to talk here."
Wu Xiufeng was even more angry: "If you have something to say, don't be so eccentric------."
Teacher Chu suddenly said loudly, "Xiao Yang, shut up." Seeing the teacher's anger, Wu Xiufeng dared not speak any more.Hearing the sound of WeChat, it was Pu Yan who said, "She is Teacher Chu's daughter, her name is He Miao."
He suddenly realized, and saw Pu Yan pulled the girl with his hands, and then made a shape of index finger to index finger and mother finger to mother finger.He Miao showed a hint of surprise and said, "You are Pu Yan? We haven't seen each other for almost ten years." Pu Yan nodded with a smile.
Teacher Chu said, "He Miao, shall we go eat?"
He Miao seemed to hold back: "There is someone in your family today, so I don't want to talk about it." She turned to Cao Jianfeng who came with her and said, "Brother Cao, let's forget about today and come back tomorrow." She stood up and smiled at Pu Yan , looked at Wu Xiufeng again, and walked out quickly.
The three of them sat quietly for a while, and Teacher Chu said first: "I know you have a lot of questions to ask, especially Xiao Yang, who is even more baffled. Don't ask, and I don't want to say it. In short, this is The pain that I can't erase in my life is my own fault." After a while, he said: "Go back, I want to be alone."
As soon as he came to the courtyard, Wu Xiufeng couldn't wait to say: "Teacher will be okay, right? I've never seen him lose his composure like this." Pu Yan shook her head.
Wu Xiufeng was still worried, he knew in his heart that it was really hard to manage this kind of thing.However, the teacher was in such a lonely situation, but he stood by and watched, so he couldn't justify it, let alone Cao Jianfeng, who came with a bad intention.Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind, and said to Pu Yan: "You go back first, I'm going to find Brother Chu and Sister Cheng, this matter cannot be left alone."
Pu Yan sent a WeChat message on her mobile phone: "If you have to go, you just need to go to Brother Chu, because he has been with Teacher Chu for the longest time and knows everything about the situation, not to mention that he is also Teacher Chu's family." Wu Xiufeng said to She smiled, turned and left.
He came to the place where Chu Xiuxiu worked, and went directly to his office, but no one was there.I only found out after asking his colleagues that he was very busy this morning and was in a meeting.He went back to Chu Xiuxiu's office, ready to wait for a long time.After a while, I saw Chu Xiuxiu come back in a hurry.Wu Xiufeng said: "I know you are very busy today, but I really have something important to say, otherwise there will be time."
Chu Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, knowing the seriousness of the problem, he took out his mobile phone and called, "Lao Yang, you guys have dinner by yourself, and then go to the meeting place. I won't participate in the meal, and I will go directly to the meeting place later. Yes, I know , I won’t be late, don’t worry.” He hung up the phone and said to Wu Xiufeng, “Let’s go down and find a snack bar to have something to eat, and talk while eating, what do you think?”
Wu Xiufeng followed him to a snack bar, and the two ordered a bowl of noodles each. Wu Xiufeng told him what happened today.
"This is really a very embarrassing thing." Chu Xiuxiu said: "I met He Miao, and she still called me big brother. The general situation of the matter is like this: He Miao's mother's house is in Beijing. More than 20 years ago, The teacher met her and got married. At first they got along very well and were very happy; but then, the teacher became more and more busy, full of academic matters, and seldom took care of the two of them. He Miao grew up with her My mother has always carried it. They had many conflicts and quarreled many times because of this matter. After each quarrel, the teacher always showed a nonchalant attitude and was only busy with academic matters every day. The knot got deeper and deeper. In the end, He Miao's mother separated from the teacher and took He Miao to Beijing. For more than ten years, she basically had no contact or came back to see them. The teacher called them many times, Or don’t answer, even if the call is connected, it’s a few angry words. You know the teacher’s character, he doesn’t like to explain, and he doesn’t take the initiative to ask anyone? The matter has been left hanging like this. After He Miao grows up, After coming back several times, I was very angry and asked the teacher, but the teacher was silent, non-arguing and non-questioning. He Miao said angrily that he would never have any contact with his father again. Unexpectedly, it would appear now, let alone that It's really a tricky thing for her to unite with Cao Lizhi and the others. The teacher doesn't argue, but I know his inner thoughts. In fact, he loves He Miao and the others deeply, and all the pain is silently hidden in his heart , never speak to others, that's probably how things are."
Wu Xiufeng said, "What's He Miao's name? Is it Chu He Miao?"
Chu Xiuxiu said: "Her mother's surname is He, and He Miao follows her mother's surname, called He Miao, and her nickname is He Miao."
"How old is she?" Wu Xiufeng said, "When did you leave the teacher and go to Beijing?"
"It should be when she was fifteen or sixteen years old." Chu Xiuxiu said, "Because she just graduated from junior high school at that time, she was half a year older than Pu Yan, and one or two years younger than you, right?"
Wu Xiufeng said, "Have she and Pu Yan known each other since childhood?"
"Of course." Chu Xiuxiu said, "They played together when they were young, and they have a good relationship. According to what He Miao said, she often protects Pu Yan."
"There is one last question." Wu Xiufeng said, "Brother Chu, why do you think Cao Jianfeng came with He Miao this time?"
Chu Xiuxiu said: "The intention is obvious, the comer is not good. Use the seedlings to increase the weight of excluding the teacher, but how will it be done? It depends on the situation. It's hard to say now."
Wu Xiufeng said: "According to Gao Jie, there should be two purposes, forcing teachers to withdraw from the summit; the other is to gain the leadership of this national cultural reform; among them, the latter is the main purpose."
Chu Xiuxiu said: "What do you mean by the leadership of national cultural reform? Are you going to hold a large-scale cultural reform in China?"
"That's what Gao Jie said." Wu Xiufeng said: "Leading by the cultural authorities, we will invite leading figures in the cultural circles as general advisors to carry out an all-round cultural reform."
Chu Xiuxiu was thoughtful: "No wonder the past few days are busy, it seems there is a reason."
Chu Xiuxiu hurried to meet his colleagues, Wu Xiufeng walked alone on the street, he came to People's Park, found a place where no one was around, sat down and thought.
In the evening, Wu Xiufeng came to the teacher's house and saw the teacher drinking tea silently by himself.Wu Xiufeng didn't say anything, just sat gently on the sofa, and the two of them sat like this for a long time.Teacher Chu said, "You're worried about me, aren't you?"
Wu Xiufeng said, "I'll come and take a look."
Teacher Chu smiled wryly: "It's okay, I'm not that fragile, it's inevitable to be sad, but I won't do extreme things, so you don't have to take it to heart."
Wu Xiufeng said: "I know what kind of person the teacher is."
Teacher Chu said: "I don't care much about how He Miao hates me. What I'm really worried about is that she will be used by Cao Lizhi and others to put herself in a dilemma. Such a thing must not happen."
Wu Xiufeng said: "The name He Miao, did you come up with the name, Teacher?"
Teacher Chu said: "She follows her mother's surname, called He Miao, and her nickname He Miao, which I gave her."
Wu Xiufeng said: "Such a name entrusts the teacher's deep emotions."
"I'm really worried about her going astray now." Teacher Chu said: "The thing I regret the most is that I didn't accompany her well during her growth and didn't let her have a happy and happy childhood like other children. I really regret it."
"Teacher, don't worry too much." Wu Xiufeng said: "No matter what happens, I will stay with you firmly and do my best to keep He Miao from harm. If Cao Jianfeng and the others have ulterior motives and are not good for He Miao, I will let them Words and deeds are exposed, prompting He Miao to draw a clear line with them."
When he left, Teacher Chu said: "Xiao Yang, don't come tomorrow. Don't get involved in this matter for the time being. I will talk about it after I understand the situation clearly."
Wu Xiufeng said, "I don't trust you."
"I know." Teacher Chu said: "According to my arrangement, none of you will come tomorrow, and I will be alone." Wu Xiufeng still insisted, and Teacher Chu said while pushing him: "Go back quickly, listen to me Make arrangements and I will contact you."
Wu Xiufeng walked on the way home, letting the night wind blow him.Inexplicably, there was a tragic emotion in his heart: No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, he should stand in front of the teacher without hesitation.
The next day, Wu Xiufeng kept looking at his mobile phone. The teacher, including Chu Xiuxiu, didn't have any information. He really wanted to visit the teacher's house, but he was afraid of causing trouble to the teacher.In the hesitation of waiting, a day passed like this.On the morning of the third day, Wu Xiufeng was really worried, so he came to Teacher Chu's house hesitantly, but there was no sound.He was about to leave when he found the door was ajar.He pushed open the door, only to see Mr. Chu sitting in his usual seat in frustration, without tea in front of him.
Wu Xiufeng walked over gently, picked up the tea set to wash, he boiled the water, and made tea again, without saying anything, Teacher Chu still sat quietly.Wu Xiufeng put the teacher's tea in his usual place, and poured another cup himself.
Teacher Chu suddenly said, "Xiao Yang, what if we give up this Cangshan summit and stop participating?"
Wu Xiufeng was stunned for a while: "Teacher, what happened? You tell me, no matter what, I will do it for you."
"It's nothing." Teacher Chu said, "I just want to ask you, we won't participate in the summit, and we won't even participate in the future, how about it?"
Wu Xiufeng said: "My meaning is very clear, the teacher's decision is my decision."
Teacher Chu smiled wryly with a little relief.Wu Xiufeng still looked at the teacher worriedly, and said, "What happened yesterday? You can tell me."
Teacher Chu hesitated for a long time, as if he had made up his mind: "Yesterday afternoon, when He Miao and the others came to the house, it was mainly the man named Cao Jianfeng who was talking. His meaning was very clear, that is, to stop us from attending the summit. In the future, do not participate in official cultural meetings."
Wu Xiufeng said: "He is talking to himself, why does the teacher listen to him?"
"Of course I won't listen to what he said, but the key is that He Miao also means the same thing." Teacher Chu said: "I can clearly feel that He Miao was used by them, and coupled with her resentment towards me for many years, I don't care She won’t listen to anything, this is the most difficult thing I’ve ever encountered in my life. When I was young, I could make quick decisions, but now that I’m old, my heart becomes softer, and I don’t realize it It's really hard for me to think about so many things before. I also know that next year's summit will be the best time for us to bring back the dignity that has been lost for many years, and you will also be popular in the cultural world. Pay attention. Maybe Cao Lizhi and the others understand the meaning of it, so He Miao and Cao Jianfeng came together. If it was only Cao Lizhi and the others, I would go on without hesitation, but now, He Miao wants to unite with them. Dilemma."
Wu Xiufeng said: "It's secondary to let us withdraw from the summit. They don't need to take such a ruthless hand. Their real purpose is to worry that the cultural reform initiative will be lost."
"Actually, Cao Lizhi is too worried." Teacher Chu said: "In today's Chinese cultural circles, when it comes to the momentum and the wide network, there is really no one who can match him. The dominance of this cultural reform is nine out of ten. It must be him. The reason why he did such a dirty thing in such a hurry is to make sure of it."
Wu Xiufeng said: "It's okay, it's okay if we give up, I'll follow your arrangement, what should we do now?"
Teacher Chu said: "The only thing I am worried about is He Miao. I am afraid that she will get deeper and deeper."
Wu Xiufeng said, "What can I do?"
Teacher Chu said: "You can't do anything right now, just let nature take its course and see the situation."
Wu Xiufeng said: "Okay, I will follow the teacher's arrangement."
What Teacher Chu and Wu Xiufeng didn't expect was that tonight, at this very moment, Cao Jianfeng asked Cheng Huang to have the most interesting conversation in a casual coffee shop.
Cao Jianfeng said: "Although it's the first time I met Sister Cheng, I've heard of you a long time ago. You are very good, so you should know who I am, right?"
"Of course I know." Cheng Huang said perfunctorily: "In the past few days, your name has been so popular that you can't do it if you don't want to. It's really scary for young people."
Cao Jianfeng said: "Sister Cheng was joking, there are still many things I will trouble you to help with in the future."
Cheng Huang said disapprovingly, "For example?"
Cao Jianfeng said: "Now the cultural authorities are planning a national cultural reform, which is very large-scale and involves all provinces and cities across the country."
Cheng Huang said bluntly, "Does it have something to do with me?"
"Of course it has something to do with it." Cao Jianfeng said, "I heard that Sister Cheng makes high-end tea and is also a member of the cultural circle. When seeing tea, people will naturally think of culture. In the Southwest, people who know you That's quite a lot."
Cheng Huang said: "Thanks to my teacher, just be specific, don't go around the bush, I like to speak straight."
"This cultural reform involves a lot of resources." Cao Jianfeng said with a smile: "In the Southwest area, we still have to rely on Sister Cheng's help. How to do it? We will discuss it at that time; of course, the decision is yours. There is no sense of reluctance."
Cheng Huang's expression changed greatly: "What resources? I'm happy to participate."
Cao Jianfeng said: "Sister Cheng is really a happy person, and I feel happy talking to someone like you. How about this, I can help you again."
Cheng Huang said, "Please tell me."
Cao Jianfeng said: "I heard that Sister Cheng's tea company is doing well and has a good reputation. This shows that you are really great."
Cheng Huang said with a smile: "Where, where, I made you laugh."
Cao Jianfeng continued: "Once the cultural reform is started, there will inevitably be many meetings. The people participating in the meeting come from all over the country, so they will inevitably need a lot of high-end tea. I also ask Cheng Jie to cooperate in providing tea, and the cost will be unified by the organizing committee. pay."
"Really? Then please leave it all." Cheng Huang was obviously very happy: "This is a good thing, thank you again. If you need me to do anything, just say it."
Cao Jianfeng showed a troubled expression on his face: "This matter is not difficult, we can decide on our own, it's just------."
Cheng Huang said: "If you have any difficulties, just say it."
"It's a trivial matter." Cao Jianfeng said: "Once, when I was chatting with a supervisor, he showed a strong dislike for Wu Xiufeng. If you continue to maintain a good relationship with him, you may even involve him in some matters." , it may be very difficult for this matter.”
Cheng Huang said unhappily: "You mean to tell me to betray my teacher."
"How could it be?" Cao Jianfeng said: "I haven't mentioned your teacher since I met you. I just said that because the leader in charge of this matter is very disgusted with Wu Xiufeng personally, it is very difficult to do this matter. Besides Now, everyone in the cultural circles knows that you respect Teacher Chu very much, how could I do such a thing that 'harms others but does not benefit myself'."
Cheng Huang didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.
"I really want to help you with this." Cao Jianfeng said, "You think, anyway, so much tea needs to be purchased, it doesn't matter where you buy it, and it's not my own money, so why would I want to buy it?" No? It’s just because Wu Xiufeng couldn’t do it.”
He paused to look for a while, and then continued: "Let's think together if there is any way to get the best of both worlds. Besides, the implementation of the cultural reform plan requires the help and participation of Sister Cheng on the Southwest side."
Cheng Huang said: "The question you asked is too sudden, I need to think about it before answering you."
Cao Jianfeng smiled confidently and said, "Okay."
Two days later, Wu Xiufeng happily came to Cheng Huang's tea company, first went to see Pu Yan, saw that she was busy, and went to the tea room.
What is Cheng Huang thinking about while sipping tea?Seeing him coming in, he quickly poured a cup of tea, looking a little flustered.Wu Xiufeng said, "Sister Cheng, what's the matter with you?"
Cheng Huang said: "It's nothing, you drink tea.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Xiufeng received Gao Jie's WeChat, and his first feeling was that something was going to happen.He came to the cultural center and told the teacher about it.
Teacher Chu said: "Since he said that, there must be something wrong. Teacher Su is good-natured. Even if something happens, don't worry. We will be waiting for him tomorrow. Please tell Brother Chu and the others about this." Wu Xiufeng called at that time, and they both said that they had already made an appointment and couldn't leave, so they asked Wu Xiufeng to accompany the teacher to receive them.
The next morning, Gao Jie came to the teacher's house according to Wu Xiufeng's address.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Gao Jie expressed Su Youzhou's greetings to Teacher Chu, and the whole room was peaceful and friendly.
Gao Jie said: "My teacher specially asked me to visit this time. Apart from greetings, I have something to discuss with you."
Teacher Chu said: "I respect Teacher Su's knowledge and character very much. You are his proud disciple, so naturally you also respect him."
"Thank you, Teacher Chu." Gao Jie said: "I don't know if Teacher Chu has heard that the goalkeeper is going to carry out a large-scale reform to restore the classic Chinese culture. I heard that the action is very big and involves many aspects."
Teacher Chu said: "I've heard people mention it, but the details are not very clear. This is a good thing, and it should have been done long ago."
"Of course it's a good thing." Gao Jie said, "The question is, who will take the lead in this matter?"
"Isn't there a cultural authority?" Teacher Chu said, "They will naturally take the lead and invite a group of representative people to participate."
Gao Jie said: "According to what we know, this time is different from the past. First of all, the scale is very large and the action is very large. First, someone will form a group to represent the cultural circles to propose a plan, and then invite relevant personnel to participate." Hear here , Teacher Chu and Wu Xiufeng understood the true meaning of this matter.
Teacher Chu said, "What does Teacher Su mean?"
Gao Jie seemed to answer the question out of context: "Have you ever heard of Cao Jianfeng?"
Teacher Chu and Wu Xiufeng looked at each other, both expressing their ignorance.Gao Jie said: "It is said that after the last summit, Mr. Cao has been brooding on his heart, and he has been looking for a talent who can represent him. It is also a coincidence. One of his nephews, Cao Jianfeng, came back from studying in the United States and happened to meet him. In recent years, Mr. Cao has cultivated him carefully, the purpose is to let him represent himself in the cultural circle."
Teacher Chu said, "How is this person's IQ?"
Gao Jie said: "I haven't seen this person with my own eyes. I heard that he is unparalleled in wit. He often doesn't play cards according to the rules. His behavior style is very similar to Teacher Cao. According to my teacher, he is the most powerful disciple among all the students of Teacher Cao. He The emergence of the cultural circle will definitely stir up the cultural situation. Now Teacher Cao and Cao Jianfeng are working hand in hand, one in front of the stage and one behind the scenes. Taking advantage of this opportunity of cultural reform, seven or eight of the people on the list in Cangshan have been arrested. Straight at you and us."
Teacher Chu said: "So, Teacher Su let you come to Kunming."
"Yes." Gao Jie said frankly, "I hope that both of us will be united and resist their tricks." He looked at the time: "Mr. Chu, I have to meet a friend, let's make an appointment."
Teacher Chu said, "That's fine too, Xiao Yang, send Gao Jie off."
After leaving the cultural center and at the intersection, Gao Jie said, "I don't know if Brother Wu has time tonight, let's chat."
"That's good." Wu Xiufeng said: "How about this, I'll treat you to dinner in the afternoon, and chat while eating."
Gao Jie said, "It's exactly what I want, thank you very much."
Just as Wu Xiufeng returned, Chu Xiuxiu also arrived.Teacher Chu said: "Aren't you busy? Why are you here again?"
Chu Xiuxiu said: "Just after the meeting, since Mr. Su's students are here, we should do our best to be hosts. This is polite."
Teacher Chu nodded and saw Chu Xiuxiu's expression of heavy heart.Said: "Is there something wrong?"
"It's all about work." Chu Xiuxiu said: "Today was a meeting to discuss the construction plan of the 'Dianchi Cultural Theme Park'. I received a notice from the higher-ups that this plan was temporarily stranded because of a man named Cao Jianfeng in the Beijing cultural circle. Some people have explained the disadvantages of this plan and think that it should be suspended. I suspect that this Cao Jianfeng has any connection with Cao Lizhi?"
Teacher Chu said: "They are from the same family. Gao Jie told us just now. It seems that this Cao Jianfeng is really not simple."
In the afternoon, Wu Xiufeng and Gao Jie came to a fancy casual restaurant.After ordering, Gao Jie said: "At the last summit, you left a very deep impression on me. It is a great pleasure to meet you today."
"Brother Gao laughed, I have a lot of respect for you." Wu Xiufeng said, "My teacher said, Teacher Su and you are both talented and well-behaved people, which makes people respect you very much."
Gao Jie said: "I have always wanted to have an all-night chat with you. It must be a great joy in life. It seems that it is true. What do you think of what I said this morning?"
Wu Xiufeng said: "First of all, I think this is a good thing, and we should support it without doubt; secondly, no matter who is in charge of this matter, as long as he sincerely wants to do it well, we will not There's any dissent, and we'll add to that."
"I don't know if you have thought about it." Gao Jie said with a smile: "Mr. Cao's actions will exclude both of us from the scope of this matter, and even disqualify us from participating in the summit."
"Of course there is such a possibility. Didn't they think so last time?" Wu Xiufeng said, "Brother Gao, you don't have to worry about it. You have a lot of supporters and they don't dare to treat you too much, but we have something to worry about. "
"Compared with you, I feel that we are a little better." Gao Jie did not evade: "It is conceivable that first you, then us, and finally the dream of the 'King of Culture' that Mr. Cao has all his heart in mind."
Wu Xiufeng said: "Brother Gao, you are well informed, what should you do in your opinion."
"My teacher and I have discussed this issue in particular." Gao Jie said: "This Cao Jianfeng is indeed a formidable enemy, and only Brother Wu can make him retreat from difficulties."
Wu Xiufeng smiled: "Brother Gao means to roast me on the fire."
"Brother Wu was joking." Gao Jie said, "I heard that at the last summit, a disciple of Mr. Cao said that you are just a pawn. You replied, 'As long as what you do is just, even if you are a pawn I'm very proud'. I'll borrow your words today, for the sake of fairness and justice, it doesn't matter if you handcuff yourself." The two laughed.
After the meal, neither of them wanted to leave, so they ordered two cups of freshly ground coffee and continued their chat.
Wu Xiufeng said: "I haven't been in the cultural circle for a long time, but I still saw something. Most people in the cultural circle don't like my teacher very much, and even oppose it. I don't know how brother Gao treats us."
Gao Jie said: "Everyone below my teacher is very respectful and friendly to you. From the last summit to today, you should be able to see that we are very sincere. As for many people in today's cultural circles who do not like Teacher Chu, among There are many reasons; it can be summed up in two aspects. One is the actual interests of those involved; the other is that Teacher Chu has a straightforward personality and perverse behavior, which many people cannot accept."
Speaking of this, he looked at Wu Xiufeng and said with a smile: "It is said that many years ago, Cao Lizhi said in front of many people: 'Chu Mengxiong, even a name is so strange, who should he be'? In the future, as long as you listen to When Teacher Chu's name is mentioned, he will go crazy with anger. I'm straightforward enough to say this."
"Thank you Brother Gao for your frankness." Wu Xiufeng said: I can tell that you said these words without malice. You really deserve to be a Confucian disciple, which is admirable. "
"Getting praise from Brother Wu is like drinking fine wine." Gao Jie said, "Brother Wu, what do you think of the theory we advocate?"
Wu Xiufeng said: "In a sense, I can be regarded as a disciple of Confucianism, because I am convinced of Mr. Kong Lao's Confucianism. In my opinion, Mr. Kong Lao's theory is a real "world-involved" knowledge. He represents No matter how many years it takes, Confucius’ Confucian thought will live forever, not only affecting the current region, but I believe it will affect the entire human world.”
Gao Jie was very surprised: "I didn't expect Brother Wu to have such a high evaluation of our Confucianism. I am really grateful."
"Forgive me, Brother Gao, you may have misunderstood." Wu Xiufeng said: "What I just said from the beginning to the end was Mr. Kong's Confucianism, not a general reference to Confucianism."
Gao Jie said, "Does it make any difference?"
Wu Xiufeng said with a smile: "Brother Gao is such a smart person, why would he ask this question? Is it the so-called 'darkness under the lamp'? I'm still joking with my little brother."
Gao Jie said: "I'm really curious, I've never heard such remarks."
Wu Xiufeng said: "With the knowledge and wisdom of Brother Gao and Teacher Su, you should have understood it a long time ago. Maybe because you are the authorities, you never think about these things from another angle."
Gao Jie said, "I would like to hear good opinions."
"Personal opinion, just for jokes." Wu Xiufeng said: "I think that Confucianism is divided into three stages. One is the Confucianism represented by Mr. Kong Lao, which can be called Confucianism; It is called Mencius Confucianism; the last is Confucianism represented by Zhu Xi and Er Cheng, which can be called Song Dynasty Confucianism. There are essential differences between these three kinds of Confucianism. What I just talked about is the Confucianism of Mr. Kong Lao, and the other two are not worth mentioning. .This is all personal opinion, brother Gao, please don’t take offense.”
Gao Jie was very puzzled: "Brother Wu, you're welcome, I'm not that small. I'm just curious, can you be more specific about your opinions?"
"I'm playing tricks, so please don't make fun of me, Brother Gao." Wu Xiufeng said, "I want to ask Brother Gao a few questions first, why do many people think Confucianism is a pedantic knowledge."
"That's because the times have changed." Gao Jie said: "In the past hundred years, people have admired Western technology and culture. Many people worship the Western concept of 'universal values' and leave Chinese classic culture behind. But they don’t know that this is the root of the Chinese people’s survival. Without this root, China will dry up. Because of this, even in the heyday of Western academics, Confucianism was not completely submerged The good news is that in recent years, there are signs of growing prosperity."
"Okay." Wu Xiufeng said, "Why are there so many people visiting Qufu, Shandong every year?"
Gao Jie said: "Qufu, Shandong Province is the sacred place of Confucianism, where people's spirits are attached. The Confucianism advocated 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and all goodness and filial piety first' is to standardize people's code of conduct and tell people to be a moral and A person with a conscience and abiding by the rules; and this is what everyone needs in his heart, and it is what every family desires to have; therefore, it will naturally prosper and last forever. Now all over the country, families that stick to Confucianism tend to be more harmonious, It’s more warm; especially the people in Qufu, Shandong Province.”
"Okay." Wu Xiufeng said, "May I ask again, why do so many people criticize Confucianism?"
Gao Jie said: "Because China was backward and weak in modern times, people were born to worship foreigners."
"In my opinion, it's not entirely true." Wu Xiufeng said: "First of all, people like to worship in Qufu, Shandong, because the ideas of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, and filial piety' advocated by Confucianism have guiding significance for people's real life. The main reason for its prosperity and development for thousands of years. However, many people now criticize Confucianism, saying that it is a pedantic knowledge. , there must be a deeper reason. In my opinion, it is because the current Confucianism is no longer the Confucianism of Confucius.”
Gao Jie was even more puzzled: "Brother Wu, please continue."
"According to historical records." Wu Xiufeng said: "Before the Warring States period, even at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, scholars were still able to govern the country and fight on the battlefield. There was no such thing as a 'nerd'; therefore, the social status of scholars was particularly high. The change began with Mencius, who misinterpreted human nature, forced distinctions between superiors and inferiors, talked about benevolence and righteousness, and deceived the world. Scholars gradually transformed into "speaking the truth well, but doing things in a mess." The so-called "useless is a scholar ' is the best conclusion. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi and Ercheng even worsened. He self-righteously listed a variety of ethical clauses to bind people like "Zongzi", and used the standard of "sage" to require people to abide by all aspects. , completely disregarding the human heart and human nature. In such a social atmosphere, people gradually lose their individuality, bravery, and creativity, and present a mellow, gentle, and well-behaved appearance. Thousands of people are the same. Everyone becomes like this Now, where can the country be strong?"
He smiled and continued: "Brother Gao, have you noticed that the Confucianism preached in the society is basically the Song Dynasty version of Confucianism, and it is not the Confucianism founded by Mr. Kong at the beginning. Therefore, Confucianism has been scolded by many people. It is not surprising that it is pedantic and useless learning."
Gao Jie didn't speak, as if he was thinking about Wu Xiufeng's question, and after a while he said: "To be honest, we are true Confucian disciples, and the question you just mentioned has never even thought about it. I can't say right now. Wrong, fortunately, we will have the opportunity to talk about it later. Now, I have another question to ask, why is Confucianism the only one accepted by all dynasties in the history of China when there was a "hundred schools of thought contending."
Wu Xiufeng said: "Because Confucius' Confucianism advocated 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, all goodness and filial piety first' just cater to the strong needs of people's hearts. All wise people should understand that human nature and human heart are the way of humanity and heaven. Destruction, how can it last long."
Gao Jie said: "Chatting with Brother Wu was really heartwarming, and I hope to have a chance to chat again in the future."
Wu Xiufeng said with a smile: "Brother Gao is laughing, welcome to Kunming again."
The days are rough but full, peaceful and full of longing.At noon of the day, Wu Xiufeng and Pu Yan came to Teacher Chu's house, intending to drink tea and chat, and then cook together.The three were talking vigorously when two young men, a man and a woman, suddenly appeared at the door.Wu Xiufeng clearly saw that the teacher stopped pouring tea, his whole body was stiff, his face was full of astonishment, and he fixedly looked at the two people who appeared at the door.He had never seen the teacher lose his composure like this before, and only heard Teacher Chu say, "He Miao, are you back?"
Without saying a word, the girl went straight to the sofa and sat down.The boy said politely, "Mr. Chu, hello! My name is Cao Jianfeng, and I came to visit you from Beijing."
Wu Xiufeng heard the name that appeared frequently during this period, and turned to look at him: he was about the same age as himself, with a handsome and handsome face, a complacent expression, and a very proud personality.Teacher Chu didn't seem to hear Cao Jianfeng's words, and still looked at the girl helplessly.
The girl was quite beautiful, and her peerless face contained the delicate temperament that only a lady of the world possessed.She said disdainfully: "Don't act like you care about me, just pretend."
Wu Xiufeng's surprise became even stronger, and he couldn't help but say, "Who are you? Don't go too far."
The girl looked at him, and still said in the same tone: "Where did this talent come from? It's a pity, handsome guy, it's not your turn to talk here."
Wu Xiufeng was even more angry: "If you have something to say, don't be so eccentric------."
Teacher Chu suddenly said loudly, "Xiao Yang, shut up." Seeing the teacher's anger, Wu Xiufeng dared not speak any more.Hearing the sound of WeChat, it was Pu Yan who said, "She is Teacher Chu's daughter, her name is He Miao."
He suddenly realized, and saw Pu Yan pulled the girl with his hands, and then made a shape of index finger to index finger and mother finger to mother finger.He Miao showed a hint of surprise and said, "You are Pu Yan? We haven't seen each other for almost ten years." Pu Yan nodded with a smile.
Teacher Chu said, "He Miao, shall we go eat?"
He Miao seemed to hold back: "There is someone in your family today, so I don't want to talk about it." She turned to Cao Jianfeng who came with her and said, "Brother Cao, let's forget about today and come back tomorrow." She stood up and smiled at Pu Yan , looked at Wu Xiufeng again, and walked out quickly.
The three of them sat quietly for a while, and Teacher Chu said first: "I know you have a lot of questions to ask, especially Xiao Yang, who is even more baffled. Don't ask, and I don't want to say it. In short, this is The pain that I can't erase in my life is my own fault." After a while, he said: "Go back, I want to be alone."
As soon as he came to the courtyard, Wu Xiufeng couldn't wait to say: "Teacher will be okay, right? I've never seen him lose his composure like this." Pu Yan shook her head.
Wu Xiufeng was still worried, he knew in his heart that it was really hard to manage this kind of thing.However, the teacher was in such a lonely situation, but he stood by and watched, so he couldn't justify it, let alone Cao Jianfeng, who came with a bad intention.Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind, and said to Pu Yan: "You go back first, I'm going to find Brother Chu and Sister Cheng, this matter cannot be left alone."
Pu Yan sent a WeChat message on her mobile phone: "If you have to go, you just need to go to Brother Chu, because he has been with Teacher Chu for the longest time and knows everything about the situation, not to mention that he is also Teacher Chu's family." Wu Xiufeng said to She smiled, turned and left.
He came to the place where Chu Xiuxiu worked, and went directly to his office, but no one was there.I only found out after asking his colleagues that he was very busy this morning and was in a meeting.He went back to Chu Xiuxiu's office, ready to wait for a long time.After a while, I saw Chu Xiuxiu come back in a hurry.Wu Xiufeng said: "I know you are very busy today, but I really have something important to say, otherwise there will be time."
Chu Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, knowing the seriousness of the problem, he took out his mobile phone and called, "Lao Yang, you guys have dinner by yourself, and then go to the meeting place. I won't participate in the meal, and I will go directly to the meeting place later. Yes, I know , I won’t be late, don’t worry.” He hung up the phone and said to Wu Xiufeng, “Let’s go down and find a snack bar to have something to eat, and talk while eating, what do you think?”
Wu Xiufeng followed him to a snack bar, and the two ordered a bowl of noodles each. Wu Xiufeng told him what happened today.
"This is really a very embarrassing thing." Chu Xiuxiu said: "I met He Miao, and she still called me big brother. The general situation of the matter is like this: He Miao's mother's house is in Beijing. More than 20 years ago, The teacher met her and got married. At first they got along very well and were very happy; but then, the teacher became more and more busy, full of academic matters, and seldom took care of the two of them. He Miao grew up with her My mother has always carried it. They had many conflicts and quarreled many times because of this matter. After each quarrel, the teacher always showed a nonchalant attitude and was only busy with academic matters every day. The knot got deeper and deeper. In the end, He Miao's mother separated from the teacher and took He Miao to Beijing. For more than ten years, she basically had no contact or came back to see them. The teacher called them many times, Or don’t answer, even if the call is connected, it’s a few angry words. You know the teacher’s character, he doesn’t like to explain, and he doesn’t take the initiative to ask anyone? The matter has been left hanging like this. After He Miao grows up, After coming back several times, I was very angry and asked the teacher, but the teacher was silent, non-arguing and non-questioning. He Miao said angrily that he would never have any contact with his father again. Unexpectedly, it would appear now, let alone that It's really a tricky thing for her to unite with Cao Lizhi and the others. The teacher doesn't argue, but I know his inner thoughts. In fact, he loves He Miao and the others deeply, and all the pain is silently hidden in his heart , never speak to others, that's probably how things are."
Wu Xiufeng said, "What's He Miao's name? Is it Chu He Miao?"
Chu Xiuxiu said: "Her mother's surname is He, and He Miao follows her mother's surname, called He Miao, and her nickname is He Miao."
"How old is she?" Wu Xiufeng said, "When did you leave the teacher and go to Beijing?"
"It should be when she was fifteen or sixteen years old." Chu Xiuxiu said, "Because she just graduated from junior high school at that time, she was half a year older than Pu Yan, and one or two years younger than you, right?"
Wu Xiufeng said, "Have she and Pu Yan known each other since childhood?"
"Of course." Chu Xiuxiu said, "They played together when they were young, and they have a good relationship. According to what He Miao said, she often protects Pu Yan."
"There is one last question." Wu Xiufeng said, "Brother Chu, why do you think Cao Jianfeng came with He Miao this time?"
Chu Xiuxiu said: "The intention is obvious, the comer is not good. Use the seedlings to increase the weight of excluding the teacher, but how will it be done? It depends on the situation. It's hard to say now."
Wu Xiufeng said: "According to Gao Jie, there should be two purposes, forcing teachers to withdraw from the summit; the other is to gain the leadership of this national cultural reform; among them, the latter is the main purpose."
Chu Xiuxiu said: "What do you mean by the leadership of national cultural reform? Are you going to hold a large-scale cultural reform in China?"
"That's what Gao Jie said." Wu Xiufeng said: "Leading by the cultural authorities, we will invite leading figures in the cultural circles as general advisors to carry out an all-round cultural reform."
Chu Xiuxiu was thoughtful: "No wonder the past few days are busy, it seems there is a reason."
Chu Xiuxiu hurried to meet his colleagues, Wu Xiufeng walked alone on the street, he came to People's Park, found a place where no one was around, sat down and thought.
In the evening, Wu Xiufeng came to the teacher's house and saw the teacher drinking tea silently by himself.Wu Xiufeng didn't say anything, just sat gently on the sofa, and the two of them sat like this for a long time.Teacher Chu said, "You're worried about me, aren't you?"
Wu Xiufeng said, "I'll come and take a look."
Teacher Chu smiled wryly: "It's okay, I'm not that fragile, it's inevitable to be sad, but I won't do extreme things, so you don't have to take it to heart."
Wu Xiufeng said: "I know what kind of person the teacher is."
Teacher Chu said: "I don't care much about how He Miao hates me. What I'm really worried about is that she will be used by Cao Lizhi and others to put herself in a dilemma. Such a thing must not happen."
Wu Xiufeng said: "The name He Miao, did you come up with the name, Teacher?"
Teacher Chu said: "She follows her mother's surname, called He Miao, and her nickname He Miao, which I gave her."
Wu Xiufeng said: "Such a name entrusts the teacher's deep emotions."
"I'm really worried about her going astray now." Teacher Chu said: "The thing I regret the most is that I didn't accompany her well during her growth and didn't let her have a happy and happy childhood like other children. I really regret it."
"Teacher, don't worry too much." Wu Xiufeng said: "No matter what happens, I will stay with you firmly and do my best to keep He Miao from harm. If Cao Jianfeng and the others have ulterior motives and are not good for He Miao, I will let them Words and deeds are exposed, prompting He Miao to draw a clear line with them."
When he left, Teacher Chu said: "Xiao Yang, don't come tomorrow. Don't get involved in this matter for the time being. I will talk about it after I understand the situation clearly."
Wu Xiufeng said, "I don't trust you."
"I know." Teacher Chu said: "According to my arrangement, none of you will come tomorrow, and I will be alone." Wu Xiufeng still insisted, and Teacher Chu said while pushing him: "Go back quickly, listen to me Make arrangements and I will contact you."
Wu Xiufeng walked on the way home, letting the night wind blow him.Inexplicably, there was a tragic emotion in his heart: No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, he should stand in front of the teacher without hesitation.
The next day, Wu Xiufeng kept looking at his mobile phone. The teacher, including Chu Xiuxiu, didn't have any information. He really wanted to visit the teacher's house, but he was afraid of causing trouble to the teacher.In the hesitation of waiting, a day passed like this.On the morning of the third day, Wu Xiufeng was really worried, so he came to Teacher Chu's house hesitantly, but there was no sound.He was about to leave when he found the door was ajar.He pushed open the door, only to see Mr. Chu sitting in his usual seat in frustration, without tea in front of him.
Wu Xiufeng walked over gently, picked up the tea set to wash, he boiled the water, and made tea again, without saying anything, Teacher Chu still sat quietly.Wu Xiufeng put the teacher's tea in his usual place, and poured another cup himself.
Teacher Chu suddenly said, "Xiao Yang, what if we give up this Cangshan summit and stop participating?"
Wu Xiufeng was stunned for a while: "Teacher, what happened? You tell me, no matter what, I will do it for you."
"It's nothing." Teacher Chu said, "I just want to ask you, we won't participate in the summit, and we won't even participate in the future, how about it?"
Wu Xiufeng said: "My meaning is very clear, the teacher's decision is my decision."
Teacher Chu smiled wryly with a little relief.Wu Xiufeng still looked at the teacher worriedly, and said, "What happened yesterday? You can tell me."
Teacher Chu hesitated for a long time, as if he had made up his mind: "Yesterday afternoon, when He Miao and the others came to the house, it was mainly the man named Cao Jianfeng who was talking. His meaning was very clear, that is, to stop us from attending the summit. In the future, do not participate in official cultural meetings."
Wu Xiufeng said: "He is talking to himself, why does the teacher listen to him?"
"Of course I won't listen to what he said, but the key is that He Miao also means the same thing." Teacher Chu said: "I can clearly feel that He Miao was used by them, and coupled with her resentment towards me for many years, I don't care She won’t listen to anything, this is the most difficult thing I’ve ever encountered in my life. When I was young, I could make quick decisions, but now that I’m old, my heart becomes softer, and I don’t realize it It's really hard for me to think about so many things before. I also know that next year's summit will be the best time for us to bring back the dignity that has been lost for many years, and you will also be popular in the cultural world. Pay attention. Maybe Cao Lizhi and the others understand the meaning of it, so He Miao and Cao Jianfeng came together. If it was only Cao Lizhi and the others, I would go on without hesitation, but now, He Miao wants to unite with them. Dilemma."
Wu Xiufeng said: "It's secondary to let us withdraw from the summit. They don't need to take such a ruthless hand. Their real purpose is to worry that the cultural reform initiative will be lost."
"Actually, Cao Lizhi is too worried." Teacher Chu said: "In today's Chinese cultural circles, when it comes to the momentum and the wide network, there is really no one who can match him. The dominance of this cultural reform is nine out of ten. It must be him. The reason why he did such a dirty thing in such a hurry is to make sure of it."
Wu Xiufeng said: "It's okay, it's okay if we give up, I'll follow your arrangement, what should we do now?"
Teacher Chu said: "The only thing I am worried about is He Miao. I am afraid that she will get deeper and deeper."
Wu Xiufeng said, "What can I do?"
Teacher Chu said: "You can't do anything right now, just let nature take its course and see the situation."
Wu Xiufeng said: "Okay, I will follow the teacher's arrangement."
What Teacher Chu and Wu Xiufeng didn't expect was that tonight, at this very moment, Cao Jianfeng asked Cheng Huang to have the most interesting conversation in a casual coffee shop.
Cao Jianfeng said: "Although it's the first time I met Sister Cheng, I've heard of you a long time ago. You are very good, so you should know who I am, right?"
"Of course I know." Cheng Huang said perfunctorily: "In the past few days, your name has been so popular that you can't do it if you don't want to. It's really scary for young people."
Cao Jianfeng said: "Sister Cheng was joking, there are still many things I will trouble you to help with in the future."
Cheng Huang said disapprovingly, "For example?"
Cao Jianfeng said: "Now the cultural authorities are planning a national cultural reform, which is very large-scale and involves all provinces and cities across the country."
Cheng Huang said bluntly, "Does it have something to do with me?"
"Of course it has something to do with it." Cao Jianfeng said, "I heard that Sister Cheng makes high-end tea and is also a member of the cultural circle. When seeing tea, people will naturally think of culture. In the Southwest, people who know you That's quite a lot."
Cheng Huang said: "Thanks to my teacher, just be specific, don't go around the bush, I like to speak straight."
"This cultural reform involves a lot of resources." Cao Jianfeng said with a smile: "In the Southwest area, we still have to rely on Sister Cheng's help. How to do it? We will discuss it at that time; of course, the decision is yours. There is no sense of reluctance."
Cheng Huang's expression changed greatly: "What resources? I'm happy to participate."
Cao Jianfeng said: "Sister Cheng is really a happy person, and I feel happy talking to someone like you. How about this, I can help you again."
Cheng Huang said, "Please tell me."
Cao Jianfeng said: "I heard that Sister Cheng's tea company is doing well and has a good reputation. This shows that you are really great."
Cheng Huang said with a smile: "Where, where, I made you laugh."
Cao Jianfeng continued: "Once the cultural reform is started, there will inevitably be many meetings. The people participating in the meeting come from all over the country, so they will inevitably need a lot of high-end tea. I also ask Cheng Jie to cooperate in providing tea, and the cost will be unified by the organizing committee. pay."
"Really? Then please leave it all." Cheng Huang was obviously very happy: "This is a good thing, thank you again. If you need me to do anything, just say it."
Cao Jianfeng showed a troubled expression on his face: "This matter is not difficult, we can decide on our own, it's just------."
Cheng Huang said: "If you have any difficulties, just say it."
"It's a trivial matter." Cao Jianfeng said: "Once, when I was chatting with a supervisor, he showed a strong dislike for Wu Xiufeng. If you continue to maintain a good relationship with him, you may even involve him in some matters." , it may be very difficult for this matter.”
Cheng Huang said unhappily: "You mean to tell me to betray my teacher."
"How could it be?" Cao Jianfeng said: "I haven't mentioned your teacher since I met you. I just said that because the leader in charge of this matter is very disgusted with Wu Xiufeng personally, it is very difficult to do this matter. Besides Now, everyone in the cultural circles knows that you respect Teacher Chu very much, how could I do such a thing that 'harms others but does not benefit myself'."
Cheng Huang didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.
"I really want to help you with this." Cao Jianfeng said, "You think, anyway, so much tea needs to be purchased, it doesn't matter where you buy it, and it's not my own money, so why would I want to buy it?" No? It’s just because Wu Xiufeng couldn’t do it.”
He paused to look for a while, and then continued: "Let's think together if there is any way to get the best of both worlds. Besides, the implementation of the cultural reform plan requires the help and participation of Sister Cheng on the Southwest side."
Cheng Huang said: "The question you asked is too sudden, I need to think about it before answering you."
Cao Jianfeng smiled confidently and said, "Okay."
Two days later, Wu Xiufeng happily came to Cheng Huang's tea company, first went to see Pu Yan, saw that she was busy, and went to the tea room.
What is Cheng Huang thinking about while sipping tea?Seeing him coming in, he quickly poured a cup of tea, looking a little flustered.Wu Xiufeng said, "Sister Cheng, what's the matter with you?"
Cheng Huang said: "It's nothing, you drink tea.
