Chapter 117: Obsessed with Metaphysics (1)

"What are you doing?" Bi Yu looked at Xun Bao and Xiahoumen. Each of them was shaking a handful of "cow tails" in their hands. They were a little embarrassed, so they clapped their hands in a hurry and said, "Brothers, I came in a hurry, I forgot

I’ve taken it with me, what should I do?”

Biyu wanted to go home to get it, but he thought that he had run out privately. If he went back and was seen by his family, they would definitely not let him out. The three of them thought for a while, but they had no idea. Suddenly, Xun

When Bao saw a pawn shop on the roadside, his eyes lit up and he said, "Hey, why don't we go here and have a look, maybe there is one."

When I walked into the pawn shop, the shopkeeper saw several young gentlemen coming in. He greeted them with a smile and asked, "Three young gentlemen..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Biyu asked eagerly: "Is there any slut in your shop?"

The shopkeeper said: "Young master, what a coincidence you asked. A few days ago, a customer swindled me as a slave. Now that the time limit has just passed, I don't think I will come to redeem it. Take a look, do you like it?"

As the shopkeeper said this, he took out a handful of Pu'er tail. The Pu'er tail is similar to a small cattail leaf fan, but much more expensive than it. Its main body is a wooden board with a straight lower end and a gradually tapered upper end. The two sides of the board are filled with inserts.

The hair of wild animals such as squirrels has a

The handles are made of different materials. The good ones are made of jade and rhinoceros horn, and the inferior ones are also made of bamboo and wood. They can be used to repel mosquitoes and flies, dust dust, and can also be used to cool down and play with.

.Holding a mulberry tail was a fashionable symbol of the nobles at that time.

Biyu took it and took a look, very dissatisfied, and said: "Why does the hair on it look like an ox's tail, and the handle is just a silver handle. Doesn't it have a coral handle or an ivory handle like the two of them?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "This kind of thing is something you can come across but cannot ask for. If you want something expensive, how can you get it for a while?"

Xun Bao said: "Whatever is expensive or cheap, just make do with it for now. If you don't like it, you can just dump it when you get back."

Biyu was unwilling, but had no other choice, so he grabbed the money and left. Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him and said, "You haven't given me the money yet, why are you leaving?"

When Biyu heard this, he was dumbfounded. It turned out that when he went out, he was always followed by servants, and he never had any money with him. He looked at Xiahoumen and Xunbao, but they both told him with helpless eyes - we

I didn’t bring any money, so I couldn’t help.

The shopkeeper looked at it and sneered: "So you gentlemen all have the same moral character. You just take things and don't give money." Biyu was so angry that he took off his robe and threw it to the shopkeeper and said, "I'll give you this robe. Look at it."

Is it done?"

The shopkeeper took the robe and took a closer look, and found that not only was the robe itself of high quality, but there was also an extremely delicate white jade belt hook on the robe. Excluding the robe, the jade belt hook alone was worth several bucks. This was definitely

A good deal. But before he was overjoyed, Xun Bao laughed and said, "That's nonsense. If you give him the robe, you will have a tail, but you can't be naked, right?"

A word reminded Biyu, and he was in trouble again. Xiahoumen sighed beside him: "It seems that Liulin on South Street will not be able to go today. Even if they go, it will be late, and they should leave."

Biyu became even more anxious when he heard what he said. The shopkeeper looked at it, fearing that Biyu would regret it, but the other party had no clothes, so the deal was difficult to make. In desperation, he suddenly remembered that there was a shirt at the bottom of the box, which was close to

I haven’t made a move for a year, and I don’t

What's it worth? Why not just give it to him? Thinking of this, he smiled at Biyu and said, "Young master, there is no need to make trouble. I have a shirt here that was left by a young master the day before yesterday. I made an appointment to pick it up today. It's up to you."

If you're in such a hurry, I'll let you take it first."

When Biyu heard this, he became energetic, but he felt that something was wrong: "They came to pick it up today, but you gave it to me, so how do you explain to them?"

The shopkeeper said: "Seeing that the young master is such a good person, I can't bear to be upset by the young master. If the other party comes to pick it up, I can only transfer your robe to him. But in this case, you can't come to redeem this robe."

Biyu didn't distinguish between good and bad. After hearing this, he was very grateful and agreed happily. He put on the shirt, picked up the tail, and hurried southward with Xunbao and Xiahoumen.

A Miao, A Yan, and A Ji couldn't wait for A Zhuang to get into the car, so they searched for Bi Yu along the street. After chasing for half a day, there was no trace. The three of them were panting and tired from running, and they were already sweating.

Seeing that it was not the right way to search like this, they discussed and divided into two roads, one heading south and the other heading west. A Miao and A Yan headed south, and Aji headed west.

Walking through a street corner, when passing by this pawn shop, A Miao and A Yan looked around for a while, and accidentally glanced in, and happened to see the pawn shop owner secretly holding Biyu's robe and the jade belt hook.

Appreciate. This guy got a big deal, in the competition

After they left, they couldn't wait to take it out and admire it, and were secretly happy: not counting the jade belt hook, this robe alone was worth the price of several taels and several shirts. It was considered a profit today. Hahaha, now the young master brother

Ah, I don’t know if it’s because I’m rich and willful or because I’m ignorant of the world!

A Miao looked at it and wondered in her heart: "Why does this robe look so similar to what my young master is wearing?" A Yan also noticed it. The two of them looked at each other, walked into the shop, and thinned the robe across the counter.

After a careful glance, he was already 90% sure that Biyu's daily clothing, food, housing and transportation were all provided by

The two of them took care of it. This robe was more familiar than the clothes they wore themselves. How could they not recognize it? They saw the jade belt hook again, which made them even more sure. A Miao couldn't wait to ask the shopkeeper: "This belongs to my young master."

Robe, where did you get it? Where is my young master?"

"You girl is so ridiculous. I don't care whether you are a gentleman or not. Of course, someone pawned the things in the pawn shop. Could it be that I robbed them?" The shopkeeper snorted after saying this.

A Yan saw that A Miao's words made the shopkeeper angry, so she pulled A Miao over and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, we have no other intention, we just want to ask who is the person who wears this robe?"

The shopkeeper said angrily: "It's a young master, and there are two people coming with him, both of them look like young masters."

A Miao was overjoyed and anxious after hearing this, "It's my young master, who else is it? Why do you need to pledge this robe? It's still cold, what did he wear when he pledged his robe?"

The shopkeeper listened to A Miao's words and seemed to be only concerned about the person who pawned the robe, not the robe, so he felt relieved. He also saw that her face was flushed with anxiety, and her heart was frowning. It was very funny, and her anger subsided, and it was true.

He said to the two of them: "Those three

A young master wanted to go to Liulin in the south for a talk, but he was short of money, so he pawned his robe. Oh, no, it can’t be said to be a pawning. It should be said that I had a kind heart and gave him another robe.

In exchange for something, you have no right to redeem it..."

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, the two of them didn't care about the robe at all, but followed the route he told and chased south.

Biyu followed Xiahoumen and Xunbao as they walked south along the street. They saw a small willow forest on the roadside in the distance. The weather was already warm at this time, and the new buds on the willow trees had already grown into tender green leaves, and the long willow branches were drooping.

Standing, swaying with the wind. Under the willow forest

It was a green grassland, and many people gathered on the grass. When Biyu saw it, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, leaving Xiahoumen and Xunbao behind. When he reached the outskirts of the crowd, he found that as Xunbao said,

Most of these people have

They were all holding a handful of stilettos, wearing loose clothes and belts, and they were either literati or noble men. These people did not stand face to face or in a circle in a regular manner, but each had their own bed and a felt mat.

Either sitting on the ground or sitting sideways, it doesn’t matter

One style, a casual and leisurely attitude. In the middle of the crowd, there was a person sitting on a felt mat, talking endlessly about the great road, and debating with the people next to him from time to time. Although these people were casual in appearance, they remained humble towards the preacher.

Listening attitude.

A group of wise men gathered outside the Golden Horse Gate, and young people gathered on the Bronze Camel Street.

This is an era that values ​​appearance. Standing on the streets of Luoyang, no matter where you are, you can definitely see beautiful young people. This is also an era that lets your thoughts fly. Under the bamboo groves and in the high halls, celebrities are indispensable.

Talking about Xuan is the most unique cultural feature of this period, and it is also the most popular and fashionable entertainment activity among celebrities in the Jin Dynasty.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, society has been in turmoil, with various warlords fighting back and forth, and dynasties changing continuously. Even within the same court, various factions competed for power, oppressed the imperial power, and used the imperial power to attack their opponents. Those who gained the power were proud, but no one could.

There is no guarantee that we will always be in power. In such troubled times, ordinary people will naturally inevitably leave the country.

It is so painful that even wealthy families cannot guarantee that one day they will not be implicated. As a result, they have to become cautious in their words and deeds: First, in the past, many people who were determined to change the status quo and made a difference often failed.

This leads them to lose hope in social stability, become passive and inactive subjectively, and no longer consider changing the status quo.

Secondly, objectively speaking, in order to avoid being caught by their opponents and getting into trouble, these nobles did not dare to talk about political affairs in public. The children of these aristocratic families are often scholars. When they gathered, they should have talked about the "Five Classics" and "The Five Classics".

"The Analects of Confucius" and so on, but the Confucianism pursued by the rulers is often related to politics, so

Therefore, Confucianism cannot be discussed at all. Since Confucianism’s idea of ​​doing something disappoints them, then Laozi’s thought of quietness and inaction, which corresponds to Confucianism, is naturally included in the scope of their discussion. They extend from the "Tao Te Ching" to
