Chapter 1030: Time is ruthless
Gao Xu said calmly: "I am of course grateful to Mr. Wei Chenghua. The mortgaged house belongs to him and is placed under Wei Wan's name. Now Mr. Wei seems to live there. My funds always come from the Wei family.
Wei Wan was willing to help me because of her personal friendship. It was true that Mr. Wei and I had just met and were unwilling to invest easily. But no matter what, I directly received Wei Wan's favor and indirectly accepted the help of the Wei family. I will never forget this kind of support."
He spoke sincerely, and from the heart he had no false acting skills. This is completely different from the performance of "forced by his status".
Just like when Zhu Di sent Gao Xu to Yunnan in the past, there were even more unfair decisions, but Gao Xu never really resented his father until 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. He spoke on the other side: "Xiao Liu is young and has such a mind, which is rare."
Although Wei Chenghua is very low-key in such a scene, he should have seen all kinds of people. In the past, people who Wei Chenghua didn't look down on him wanted to slap in the face when he turned over. Gao Xu's performance is indeed not an inevitable choice.
Wei Zhongming's eyes without any turbidity were patiently observing Gao Xu, then nodded, and sighed: "It's better to be young. Although the young man is not so steady, he has the spirit of adventure and enterprising. My third brother is old, and of course I am old, and time is 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 made a voice with interest.
Gao Xu smiled and said, "I hadn't resigned before. When my colleague from Tiansu Group met Xiaowan, he asked me what my relationship with the Wei family. My colleague sent me a video, and there was Xiaowan accompanying you to the party. My colleague concluded on the spot that Xiaowan was not your lover. The reason was that you have always been upright, humble and low-key, and you are well-known all over the world. Although you are old, you have experienced the test of time and must be more famous than young people."
"Haha..." Wei Zhongming immediately smiled happily. Everyone had a smile on their faces.
Miao Jin also looked at Gao Xu and saw that he was so happy to say the master's house simply, there was a smile in her bright eyes that seemed to be talking.
Because Gao Xu had come into contact with too many high-powered old men. When he was old, he couldn't eat much delicacies and had a low interest in women, and many people began to value reputation. Of course, Gao Xu didn't care much about this when he was old, but only when he understood these things could he easily scratch what Wei Zhongming was interested in.
Wei Zhongming turned his head and said, "Xiao Wan's niece is very sensible. She is the one I love the most."
Miao Jin smiled and said, "Thank you for praising me in front of others."
Wei Zhongming smiled and said, "I will praise you too."
Wei Chenghua said: "This girl doesn't know how to be modest."
Wei Zhongming said to Gao Xu: "I am quite destined to Xiao Liu. I haven't lived so relaxed and comfortable for a long time. Sometimes I want to feel this way, I can only pretend to be an ordinary old man and can only experience it in the downtown city."
"That's because everyone respects brothers." Wei Chenghua said.
Wei Zhongming said: "In the past, we talked about the superiors and inferiors, and the elders are orderly. Although now we say that equality and love the rule of law are equality, but the traditional culture is still there."
Gao Xu nodded and agreed, "What Mr. Wei said is that the same is true for the Japanese people I have come into contact with. The society is similar to ours, but the culture is still the same as before."
Wei Zhongming asked casually: "What's it?"
Gao Xu thought for a while and said, "As long as they don't break up, they will be very respectful and humble to others, be polite and friendly to others, and even make people feel like they are very popular. But if you turn your back and tell the truth, it may be the opposite."
"It seems that's the case." Wei Zhongming thought for a while, "I followed the Prime Minister over to visit a few years ago. In order to sign a trade agreement, the Prime Minister there was indeed too humble, and he bent his waist as if it was a relationship of superiors and subordinates."
Wei Zhongming also said: "It doesn't matter if cultural characteristics are concerned. Just keep a consensus on the rules. Nowadays, most knowledgeable people expect to restrict checks and balances and respect equality. You see, the most powerful people are actually the rich people in the Ming Dynasty, but the elites have better character and higher knowledge."
Gao Xu shook his head and said, "I have shallow and different opinions."
"Oh?" Wei Zhongming said.
Everyone around him looked at Gao Xu in a strange way.
Gao Xu said casually: "What do people who already have wealth and glory need the most? I think it is not infinite desires and expansion of power, but a sense of security. The many wars that happened in the Ming Dynasty before may give everyone a memory. Nowadays, checks and balances and restrictions have given people psychological expectations and rules to follow. As long as people do not take the initiative to commit things, they have a sense of control and a sense of security."
These words also came from Gao Xu's heart. He was already a prince back then, and his lifelong glory and wealth could be expected. But for a while, he was still in panic all day because the emperor's power was theoretically close to infinite size; there was only one emperor, but there were countless vassal kings, noble ministers and merchants.
He paused and said quietly: "I personally think that the public and the elite cannot be judged by morality."
Wei Zhongming was stunned for a while and laughed "hehe". He said without comment (it seems to be disagreeing): "Franjiren's works have similar views, but everyone is looking for common ground while reserving differences."
Gao Xu said: "I am just a family of words, making nonsense and making jokes, so you don't have to care. I usually like reading books the most, but I'm just talking about it on paper."
"No, you have a reasonable point," Wei Zhongming said, "Even if it doesn't make sense, as long as you have something in your heart, you can say that. The ancestors and ancestors were able to successfully implement constitutionalism and completely end the war. Various schools also made contributions. At that time, there were many schools, and various ideas appeared, resulting in self-evolution. In addition, the major events that happened internationally at that time also had a significant impact on us."
Gao Xu nodded and pondered: "I remembered an archaeological program."
Wei Zhongming raised his head excitedly and said, "You said."
Gao Xu said: "It is about the ancestors of human beings who lived in Africa. At that time, there were many scattered ethnic groups, some of which became extinct, and some continued. Archaeologists studied the stone knives left at that time... of course, they were all handmade."
Everyone laughed a few times.
Gao Xu said: "The quality of those stone knives is different. Archaeologists have found that some ethnic groups continue to learn and communicate from the surrounding areas and improve stone knives, so the number of stone knives is greater and the age is richer. However, those ethnic groups who do not know how to learn and communicate with each other have few stone knives relics and are eliminated."
He glanced at Wei Zhongming: "Look, humans were just a little better than monkeys at that time, and they understood how to communicate and learn from each other, let alone us modern people? We have indeed created the greatest
Agricultural civilization and industrial civilization that has flourished for hundreds of years, but it is still necessary to keep learning and exchanges and enrich the inner world. Isn’t it the same for the Ming Dynasty to be today?”
Wei Zhongming pointed at him and turned around to educate the younger generations: "Never be humble or arrogant, have a humble attitude. This is what modern young people should look like."
The two middle-aged men bowed and said, "Uncle has taught me a lesson, and we have to learn more."
Gao Xu smiled and said, "The old man has been too much. I'm just talking nonsense anyway. It's okay if I say something wrong. I'm an ignorant junior, so you can definitely take it."
At this time, lunch time came, Wei Zhongming got up first and asked everyone to go to the dining room to attend.
In the antique dining room, there are professional chefs and young and beautiful housekeepers. There are about dozens of people responsible for taking care of the family banquet. A round table is filled with delicious food and wine, which is very rich.
The taste is indeed good, and the ingredients can be tasted very fresh. However, Wei Zhongming and Wei Chenghua both ate very little, and they didn't eat most dishes at all, only ate some light ones, drank very little wine, and then chatted and laughed.
Gao Xu didn't care about that much. He ate a lot and sat there very calmly and ate and drank.
It is true that Gao Xu was not nervous at all. He didn't know how many times he had eaten the imperial banquet in the palace, let alone such a place. But the most important thing is that his mentality is very casual.
Gao Xu never wanted to deliberately show anything in front of big names, because he understood: these people with some knowledge will not care too much about your on-the-scenes acting. No matter how you perform, it is useless. Others have already had a position in their hearts.
Sometimes everyone neglects Gao Xu, and he listens naturally without any trouble. Although he is a guest, he doesn't have to take himself too seriously.
So, what should be eaten, what should be drunk, and what should be drunk, the parts that are not good will be overwhelmed.
As the luncheon was about to end, Wei Zhongming left the table. He said he wanted to go and rest for a while and asked everyone to do whatever they wanted to do here and stay for supper.
Gao Xu had enough food and drink, and walked out of the dining room and walked outside the door.
Miao Jin followed out and said sarcastically: "You can actually talk to the old men. Is this called "birds of birds gather together to make people together?"
Gao Xu smiled and sneered: "I can talk to the old lady too."
"I ignore you!" Miao Jinjiao said angrily.
Gao Xu hurriedly said, "Okay, you are a girl, you look even more girlish 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 so beautiful in a ruddy skirt, with classical beauty. You only have hair, and it looks a bit out of the way."
Miao Jin reached out and gently combed her hair, saying, "I don't like that hairstyle, I'm very childish. It's good to pick it up, but you have to marry me first."
Gao Xu said in a joke: "Is this what a lady from a family can say?"
"What era has it been?" Miao Jin smiled.
After the two walked for a while, Miao Jin finally said seriously: "You are really amazing. I thought I had to elope with you before. I didn't expect that things could become like this."
Gao Xu said: "If I always turn against each other, wouldn't I betray the Ming Dynasty back then?"
Miao Jin turned his head and said, "You are fat, but you are still panting."
