Chapter 97 The highest good is like water, and there is no struggle
After pausing, Xu Qilin concludes and said: "The Buddhist saying: Fighting is not a fight, and not a fight is a fight. Lao Tzu said: The best is like water, water is good at benefiting all things without fighting. The mere minister's experience: What should be mine is mine, and there is no need to fight; it is useless to fight if it is not mine, so why force it? Haha."
Li Tai was smiling at first, but the more he heard it, the more he felt that Xu Qilin seemed to have some meaning, not simply explaining what great wisdom is.
But Xu Qilin's words didn't seem to be teaching him, and his final experience was even more joking.
Whether it is understood or not, Xu Qilin felt that he had done his best. With the throne with great temptation, how many people could be calm and wait for the pie to fall from the sky and hit him on his head?
"Qi Lin's knowledge is really profound, proficient in Buddhist and Taoist words." Li Tai gathered his mind and praised with a smile: "Self-humbleness is a cleverness, but I think it is a great wisdom."
"I am greedy for money and keen on official ranks. Where can I get the wisdom of the officials?" Xu Qilin smiled mockingly and said, "It's unbearable, mixed and impure, and I still have self-knowledge."
"Qi Lin is so humble." Li Tai said casually, his eyes turned to the side, and several more people walked up there.
Xu Qilin also saw it and had to stand up and wait for the greeting. Damn, this uncle is so boring.
Among the people who came were King Li Zhi of Jin, Princess Little Shizi of Jinyang, and behind them were palace servants who served him.
Xu Qilin stepped forward and was about to greet him. Little Shizi had already opened her mouth and waved her hands and said repeatedly: "No gift, no gift."
It’s my niece who is polite. Don’t look at her young age, she is much better than Li Sipang and the black-bellied ones!
"Thank you, Your Highness King Jin, and Your Highness Princess." Xu Qilin was unwilling to be polite, so he quickly went downstairs and showed two front teeth at Xiao Yizi, with a kind and close smile on his face.
Li Zhi didn't care about this bowing, and looked distracted, and said with a smile: "I heard that Xu Xiaolang has invented new things, so I and Jinyang came to see them."
Xu Qilin pointed to the things covered with linen and said, "Your Majesty, please let the operator and this new things be brought into the palace. When Your Majesty disperses the morning court, he will come to the imperial viewing."
"The morning court is about to part." Li Zhi nodded and said, "Then let's sit and wait!"
"Please, Your Highness." Xu Qilin reached out and let out and went to the side.
Li Zhi walked over to greet Li Tai. When Xiao Yizi walked by, she winked at Xu Qilin and lowered her voice and said, "Xu Xiaolang, I have something to ask you for, come and talk."
Xu Qilin was confused, so he followed Xiao Yizi to the side and waited for the young master to give orders.
Little Slightly looked around and there was no one else in front of him. Then he blinked his big eyes and looked at Xu Qilin, and said with a little begging expression: "Xu Xiaolang, can you draw a picture book for me?"
"Picture book?" Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, if you want to see it, I will ask Xiao Zhao to lend it to you."
Little Yizi pouted, shook her little head, and the bun on it was shaking, and said unhappily: "I want a set of my own. If I always keep Guan Xiaozhao borrowing, how can I feel comfortable?"
As she said that, she grabbed Xu Qilin's hand, shook it one by one, and said coquettishly: "Xu Xiaolang, just work hard and draw a set for me. Well, whatever you want, as long as I have, I will give you everything I have, and I will never be stingy."
Xu Qilin grinned and asked him to draw a set of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was really boring. If you change the content, Xiao Zhao would not ask for it or rob it if he saw it?
Xiao Yizi rolled her eyes and said, "You can draw secretly and give it to me secretly, so don't let Xiao Zhao know. I put the painting in Jinyang Palace and hid it well, so no one can see it."
This little girl is quite clever and actually guessed the reason for her hesitation.
Looking at the pitiful look of Little Snow, Xu Qilin nodded helplessly and said, "This painting is very extensive and can't be finished. So, I will make two novel books for Your Highness, just for entertainment. As for the story, I think I will print many good books in the future."
Little Shizi showed her little shabby teeth, smiled happily, stretched out her three fingers, begging: "Is it good to do three books? If you need help in the future, I will do my best."
Xu Qilin laughed and nodded, "Three books are three. His Royal Highness said that he would not break his promise."
"Keep your word and never cheat." Little Shizi stretched out her little finger, looking solemn.
Xu Qilin seemed to see a cute little sister again. She was in a good mood and smiled and reached out to hook up with the little boy.
Xiao Yizi came today to meet Xu Qilin and begged him to agree to the painting book he had dreamed of. Now he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and is happy in his heart, and is not interested in things covered with linen.
Anyway, she knew that this was not a fun toy, but was dedicated to the father and the court, and had a different purpose.
However, since you are here, then wait a while and leave after watching!
It was not easy to see Xu Xiaolang. Xiao Yizi didn't plan to miss this opportunity easily, so she was next to Xu Qilin and begged him to tell a story to pass the time.
Xu Qilin scratched his ears and heads, thought for a while, and told a story about a fox and a crow.
The little Gongju was very impressed and did not naively ask the fox and the crow how they could talk. When the crow was praised and sang, the flesh in her mouth fell and the fox was picked up and picked up by the fox. She blinked her big eyes and understood the meaning.
"The crow is black and ugly, and it sounds ugly when she screams, but she doesn't know her own knowledge." Xiao Yizi said, "So, when you hear someone praise, you have to tell whether he is sincere and whether he wants to get something from it? Am I right?"
Xu Qilin nodded and praised: "Your Highness the Princess is so smart, you can understand it at first."
"Xu Xiaolang, do you still have many such stories?" Xiao Yizi said enviously: "Xiao Zhao must have listened to her frequently, she is so happy."
Xu Qilin just laughed and did not have a positive answer, but it was equivalent to the default.
Xiao Yizi sighed softly, remembered something again, and asked, "Xiao Zhao's birthday is coming soon, you must have prepared a way to make her happy. I will go to congratulate you and have fun with her."
"As long as your Majesty allows, Xiao Zhao and I will wait for Your Highness at home." Xu Qilin said as he stood up, his eyes turned to the distance, and a group of people were walking towards this side.
