The dream of scholars and national scholars.
Qin Sheng inexplicably thought of this sentence, which seemed to be the life trajectory of the man in front of him who made him respect him from the bottom of his heart.
Or maybe it was because the man talked about Zhu Xi's "Great University Chapters and Sentences" that Qin Sheng also thought of a sentence in "Great University".
"Knowledge comes after things, and sincerity comes after knowing. Sincerity comes after the heart, and righteousness comes after the heart. Righteousness comes after the heart. Righteousness comes after the heart. Righteousness comes after the heart.
The ancients thousands of years ago had already pointed out the direction of life in detail. This was a beautiful ladder of life. It could be said that the thoughts of Xiu Qi and Zhiping had cast the personality psychology of generation after generation of intellectuals. Even today, it was still imperceptible.
It could be said that out of ten people, nine scholars.
However, how many people could realize the dream of scholars and national scholars?
The talented man in front of him was definitely one of those who could be called national scholars.
Although Qin Sheng had already thought of the topics that they might talk about, and he was calm enough in his heart, after all, he was facing this man. Qin Sheng still had to be 120% alert.
"I heard from Ruyu that you studied philosophy in Fudan University?" The man put down the teacup and asked casually.
Qin Sheng answered truthfully, "I studied philosophy and logic, which is philosophy plus other subjects, such as science plus mathematics, science plus physics. But most of the time, I go to other colleges to take classes."
"This subject didn't exist before. It should have been established a few years ago. But it is also a trend of the times. It seems that philosophy can indeed be combined with every subject. Many of those top figures in the industry have learned a lot from philosophy." The man nodded silently. He did not think that Qin Sheng did not study pure philosophy.
So far, many people did not understand why Qin Sheng studied philosophy. Qin Sheng's explanation was that it was relatively simple, easy to be lazy, and not so tired. After all, he had read more Taoist and Buddhist classics since he was a child, and these books were inextricably linked to philosophy.
Only Qin Sheng knew why. The reason was all because of his grandfather.
Qin Sheng did not say anything. How dare he talk nonsense in front of the big boss.
"Ruyu said that you also like reading?" The man continued to chat.
Qin Sheng said with a smile, "I don't dare to show off in front of my teacher. Ruyu has read a lot more books than I do. However, when I was in college, I read my teacher's book 'The Logic of Politics', which benefited me a lot."
"Oh, you've read this book?" The man didn't seem surprised and chuckled.
Qin Sheng continued, "But compared to this book, I prefer a sentence that my teacher once said …"
At this moment, Qin Sheng had already followed Ru Yu and called the man "teacher" naturally, because it seemed that it was inappropriate to call him by other names.
"Which sentence?" the man asked with a frown.
Qin Sheng thought for a moment and replied, "Among the people living in this world, some are weak and some are strong. Some need others to set goals for them, and some set goals for others. Some need emotions to support their lives, and some need willpower to support their lives. I would probably choose the latter for every pair of concepts."
After hearing that, the man chuckled and said, "Qin Sheng, it seems that you have done a lot of homework before meeting me."
"Teacher, it's not homework. I've known you for a long time. It's just that I didn't expect to see you in person one day," Qin Sheng replied very sincerely.
Before returning to the Qin Family, he really didn't expect to meet such a big shot in this life. It seemed that such a big shot was very far away from him, and he could only see it on TV and the news.
The man did not doubt Qin Sheng's words at all. He said slowly, "Qin Sheng, I've heard about your story from Ruyu and many others. What you may not know is that I've had a lot of contact with your Small Aunt and Uncle-In-Law. But today, I'm meeting you for no other reason than Ruyu."
"Teacher, I know," Qin Sheng said respectfully.
The man sat up slightly, leaned forward, stared at Qin Sheng and said, "Qin Sheng, I heard that you used to have a very beautiful girlfriend. Then why did you choose to be with Ruyu later? What's more, the time when you and Ruyu were together was very special. It was when your father was in danger. Or, you chose to marry Ruyu for a family-style political marriage. Of course, such a marriage is very normal. After all, your father was in danger and needed a strong figure to speak for him. Ms. Song was definitely a person who could speak for him. Even if she didn't speak, it would have a direct impact, right? "
These words directly made Qin Sheng a little absent-minded. He really didn't expect that Song Ruyu's teacher would be so straightforward, leaving no room for him to maneuver.
Qin Sheng was about to say something.
The man continued bluntly, "Are you going to deny it? I know that you and Ruyu knew each other since childhood, but you left Beijing later because of something. Don't tell me that you had feelings for each other since childhood. If Ruyu said so, I could understand. But if it's you, I don't believe it. Others don't know your father's situation, but I do. As for your grandmother, uncle, and uncle-in-law, they don't have a good relationship with your father. Moreover, they don't need to speak for your father on such a matter. So I can tell you that if you think in this way, you are a little too naive, and you won't get what you want. "
These words of the man were very straightforward and even somewhat ruthless. If it were someone else, he might have already lost his mind.
However, Qin Sheng didn't. Although he didn't expect that the man would be so straightforward, he did expect that the man would ask these things.
Because there was nothing he couldn't ask.
"Teacher, I knew that you would ask these things, but I didn't expect that you would say it so directly." Qin Sheng said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "I don't want to deny it. Even if I did, I guess that few people would believe me. I believe that Ruyu has also considered this matter, but it's not completely the case."
Qin Sheng's attitude made the man very satisfied. He was still so elegant, and asked very calmly, "Then tell me what on earth is going on."
"Three years ago, at the very beginning, I don't deny that I had other purposes in this matter, which was to fight for more support for my father. I also clearly realized that everyone had different ideas on this matter. At that time, I was worried that even if I pursued Ruyu with a purpose, she wouldn't agree. But I didn't expect that she would agree. I can tell you clearly that at that time, I didn't have deep feelings for her, and I didn't need to lie to you. "
"However, today I can tell you that everything has changed. The experience of these three years made me look down on many things, including those things that my father was involved in. It also made me love and cherish Ruyu more, because I know how much she has done for me, and I know how I should treat her in this life. So now I married her, more for love than profit. As for what happened to my father, I didn't ask for anyone's help, but I didn't want anyone to frame him. That's what I did. What's more, my father sees things more clearly than I do. I've talked to him before, and he knows what he's done. He also knows where he should go, and he also knows his role in this storm. Since he already thinks this way, why should I think too much about it? Moreover, he had already made a mistake and taken a detour. This was …
He should pay the price. "
Qin Sheng said all that he had said calmly and seriously. This was his true feelings, and he didn't want to lie about this matter. Moreover, he and Ruyu knew each other well.
This was their tacit understanding.
Qin Sheng said it word by word. The man opposite him just stared at Qin Sheng. After Qin Sheng finished speaking, he smiled and nodded his head.
He saw sincerity in Qin Sheng's eyes, and he didn't think that Qin Sheng dared to lie to him. Moreover, even if Qin Sheng wanted to lie to him, he had to have the ability.
Even so, the man still asked in reply, "Do you think I believe you?"
Qin Sheng smiled self-mockingly and said, "Teacher, I said this not because I care whether you believe me or not. I just want to say what I want to say. Ruyu is too smart. She knows everything, so she never asks me. I don't know how to tell her. I always feel that I owe her too much, but I feel very uncomfortable holding these words in my heart. Today, I feel much more comfortable saying it. "
The man said calmly, "Then I'll believe you for the time being."
Qin Sheng was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"As for what happened to your father, you don't have to explain anything. I've seen him and talked to him. He told me much more than what you said. But even so, he can't escape responsibility. He just has to bear the responsibility that belongs to him, and it has nothing to do with him if it doesn't belong to him, "the man said calmly and slowly.
This was out of Qin Sheng's expectation, but his words gave Qin Sheng a lot of information. The most important information was that it seemed that the higher-ups had made a final decision on the matter of the old man.
However, Qin Sheng didn't know whether it was good or bad. The only thing he could be sure of was that it had nothing to do with the old man.
"Qin Sheng, I have another question for you. Your father is not here now, and your uncle is old. You'll be in charge of your family in the future. Do you know how to go? You know very well that many people are watching you. If you dare to make a mistake, you'll be doomed eternally. "The man was asking and reminding Qin Sheng.
This time, Qin Sheng didn't hesitate and gave the answer quickly. "Teacher, what you've done has shown me the way. But I can't stand at your height, and I don't have your foresight. But I'll try my best to advance and retreat with the country."
Hearing this, the man finally showed a sincere smile and said, "Qin Sheng, you didn't let me down."
At this time, the man saw Ruyu walking over with the book he wanted. Without saying anything more to Qin Sheng, he stood up directly and walked to Ruyu. "Have you found it?"
Song Ruyu handed the book in her hand to the man and said, "Teacher, is this the book?"
The man took the book and nodded. After turning a few pages, he said, "Ruyu, I have to host a meeting. This time, I won't talk to you anymore. When I have time, I'll invite you to my house and let you taste the cooking of your master's wife."
Song Ruyu said quickly, "Teacher, do your thing. Don't worry about us. We'll stay here for a while."
The man smiled and nodded. Then he turned around and was about to leave. When he walked to Qin Sheng, he patted Qin Sheng's shoulder heavily and said, "Treat Ruyu well. If you dare to bully her, as a teacher, I won't let you have a good time."
Qin Sheng smiled bitterly. With such a strong background, how could he dare to bully Song Ruyu?
After watching the man leave the bookstore, Qin Sheng let out a long sigh of relief. At this time, he found that his back was wet.
Anyway, he had passed the test.
