Jiang Yuliang, who was seventy years old, heard that Xia Ye was coming. He walked towards the living room with steady steps, holding the rudund bodhi in his hand.
Jiang Yuliang smiled from ear to ear when he saw Xia Ye, who was handsome and exuding a steady temperament.
"Little friend Xia Ye, we are finally lucky enough to meet today. Why don't we go to my study and sit down?"
Jiang Wenbin was slightly startled.
He knew very well what kind of talents were qualified to be invited to his study by Jiang Yuliang.
For Jiang Yuliang, the study is a holy place for him to practice Buddhism, and it is the place where he enjoys the most tranquility.
Even his family members have been driven away by him, let alone entertaining guests inside.
Xia Ye has such an honor and was introduced to the study as soon as they met, which shows how much his old man values this distinguished guest in front of him.
"Okay, then I'll do as you please." Xia Ye smiled and followed Jiang Yuliang's footsteps.
Jiang Yuliang let out a hearty laugh, and then led Xia Ye to the door of the study.
He gently pushed open the study door and made a "please" gesture.
Xia Ye quickly and respectfully clasped her hands together to return the favor to Jiang Yuliang before walking into the study.
Jiang Wenbin followed them and was about to follow Xia Ye's footsteps into the study when he was suddenly stopped by Jiang Yuliang.
Jiang Yuliang frowned and said, "I'm discussing Buddhism with little friend Xia Ye. Why are you coming in? Go, go, have someone prepare meals and tea for little friend Xia Ye. Don't disturb the purity of our meditation." "
Jiang Wenbin said helplessly: "Dad, can't you let me go in and listen?"
Jiang Yuliang shook his head ruthlessly and refused: "You kid, your realm is so low, what difference does it make if you listen or not? Cultivate your mind first, and then come and discuss the scriptures and Dharma with me."
boom!
The door was closed tightly, which made Jiang Wenbin very depressed.
Is this still his biological father?
As long as something related to spiritual practice comes up, this old man will be obsessed with it, and he will completely ignore his family.
Jiang Wenbin sighed helplessly and quickly called the nanny who came to the house and asked her to prepare lunch quickly.
He walked up the stairs, came to the door of Jiang Dong's room, and knocked on the door.
"Jiang Dong, you brat, why are you still sleeping? Summer nights are here, why are you still sleeping?"
A knock on the door suddenly woke up Jiang Dong who was sleeping soundly.
He sat up suddenly, quickly started to touch his phone, glanced at the time, and said with horror on his face: "Oh shit! Something bad happened! Brother Ye is coming tonight!"
"If you don't open the door, I will come in."
Before Jiang Dong climbed out of bed, Jiang Wenbin opened the door and walked in.
"Dad, why are you back? Where is my Brother Ye?"
"Hmph! You also know that today is the summer night and you are coming? Did you drink last night? You smell of alcohol all over your body!"
"I was really drunk last night! Where is my Brother Ye? I'm going downstairs to greet him now."
"Xia Ye has already entered your grandfather's study. Let's not disturb him. The two of them are discussing scriptures and Dharma in the room. I'm afraid they won't be able to get out in a few hours."
"Huh???" Jiang Dong looked shocked, "What did you say? The old man led my brother Ye directly into the study? The old man has never treated anyone like this before, right?"
Jiang Wenbin smiled helplessly and said: "More than that? Your grandfather also locked me out, fearing that I would disturb them."
Jiang Dong laughed loudly and said: "This seems like something the old man can do. In the eyes of the old man, talking about scriptures and Dharma must be the first priority!"
…
In the study.
Jiang Yuliang kept looking at Xia Ye and liked him more and more.
The aura released by Xia Ye made Jiang Yuliang feel particularly gentle.
He could even detect that the indescribable energy in the other party was definitely above him.
Often for such an expert, his spiritual state will definitely not be much worse.
Jiang Yuliang said half-jokingly: "Little friend Xia Ye, I have always heard from Dong'er that there is something different about you that is different from ordinary people. Your predictions are accurate and you have a sharp mind in business. I see you show your talents today. I must learn a lot from you." What kind of secret technique do you have? Can you tell me a little about it, an old man like me?"
"Mr. Jiang, thank you. I am nothing different from ordinary people. I have never learned any secret skills. I only know a few superficial things. As for accurate predictions and sharp thinking, it is nonsense. I just have relatively accurate intuition and good luck." .”
"Little friend Xia Ye, you are too humble. If it happens once or twice, it can be called a coincidence, but the number of coincidences you have is too many. Dong'er has made money with you again and again. These cannot simply be said to be good luck. Are you done?" Jiang Yuliang looked at Xia Ye with a smile.
Facing Jiang Yuliang's penetrating gaze like a falcon, Xia Ye did not show any guilt. Instead, his face was as calm as water, making it difficult for people to see through his true thoughts.
And this also made Jiang Yuliang, who knew countless people, change his face slightly.
The other party has such calm determination at such a young age, and this alone makes him stand out among his peers.
Based on Xia Ye's current strength, he may become the youngest outstanding entrepreneur in Longcheng City in the future.
Seeing that Jiang Yuliang had been stroking his beard waiting for an answer, Xia Ye replied calmly: "Old man, to be honest, the reason why I can make money with Jiang Dong and others is because I have always followed the laws of heaven. , naturally get twice the result with half the effort.”
"Little friend Xia Ye, do you mean that you rely on the sky for your livelihood?" Jiang Yuliang seemed to hear the hidden meaning in Xia Ye's words and couldn't help but reveal the mystery. "
"Mr. Jiang, I just achieve the unity of knowledge and action. I can do as much as I can, and everything I do will not exceed the scope of my cognition. At the same time, I will try my best to reduce my desires and achieve Be content with few desires and have no fight. When things are done, you can dust off your clothes and hide your merits and fame."
"You mean the state of no struggle? That is the state reached by saints. The kings fight for the world, the princes fight for the territory, the officials fight for power, the scholars fight for status, and the people fight for food and clothing. The world is prosperous. The bustle in the world is all for profit, so how can we achieve no conflict?"
"Although these fights are different, they are all for selfish desires. Only when you are content and have few desires will you be free from fights!"
Jiang Yuliang took a deep breath and said: "In the realm of saints, there are no desires and no pursuits. But mortals have seven emotions and six desires. How many people in the world can become saints? And how can they achieve no struggle?"
"Water benefits all things without fighting! A drop of water penetrates a stone, and water gathers to form a river, which naturally flourishes. The journey of a thousand miles is open and accessible, and there is no confusion in the mind."
Jiang Yuliang smiled slightly and said: "It seems that little friend Xia Ye has a deep understanding of the realm of non-contention! I really admire it! But what is one thing in this world that can be obtained without fighting? Without fighting. It will be eliminated, and even Heaven will destroy it."
"Everything in this world should be done without fighting or grabbing. As long as you cultivate your skills, don't strive for contentment." Xia Ye said with a smile.
