Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhuang Zhou was eager to try, he must make his opponent speechless and cry bitterly to admit his mistake.  Zhuang Zhou would rather go hungry as long as he could argue with others.

    Zhuang Zhou's family was not rich, and they became even poorer after getting married. If he didn't have to support his family, he wouldn't be a Qiyuan official. He didn't pay attention to this meager salary at all.  His parents did not understand him, but his wife tolerated him. Unfortunately, his wife could not be Zhuang Zhou's opponent in the debate.

    In the entire Song Dynasty, the only person who could interest Zhuang Zhou was his friend Hui Shi. However, Hui Shi wanted to be an official and wanted to do big things. He plunged into the mud of officialdom and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't have much time to debate with Zhuang Zhou, so Zhuang Zhou was bored.  to quarreling with old farmers in the fields.

    Now a strange woman comes and puts forward a strange point of view, so Zhuang Zhou is ready to use all his firepower.

    "Why are people said to be vicious if they have a heart? Why can't pure white have a heart? Why can't a pure heart be pure?" However, before Zhuang Zhou could speak, Yunyao struck first and responded with a series of whys.

    Zhuang Zhouyi was stunned. These questions were quite interesting. He answered decisively: "Committing adultery and cheating are tricks. Those who engage in these behaviors naturally do not have a pure and ethereal state of mind. Scheming is because everyone wants to  They want to save effort, and people want to be lazy, so they are born. The Mohist organization causes endless harm, because the Mohist organization helps people to be lazy, helps people save effort, and promotes scheming."

    Yunyao smiled slightly and said: "Don't call farmers lazy if they don't work. If you can immerse yourself in farming without using machines, this sentence is still somewhat convincing. But looking at your slender arms and calloused palms, I know that you are not.  Why can you say that farmers are lazy when they use machines? Do they have less work? No, they save time on irrigation and have to do other work.  It¡¯s not like they have nothing to do after they finish one thing. If they want to survive and live a good life, they have to work non-stop. After the farm work is done, they can do housework, and after doing the housework, they can do crafts. Where is the laziness?"

    "This?" This was the first time Zhuang Zhou encountered this kind of argument, and he hit the nail on the head.  If it had been anyone else, there would have been a heated discussion about scheming, but the other party did not argue. Instead, he explained whether the bureaucracy can help people to be lazy, to show that even with the bureaucracy, farmers will not have a moment of leisure, so the bureaucracy  The argument of helping farmers to be lazy is simply not valid, so the argument is naturally untenable.

    "This girl is really a fairy. She knows how to sympathize with us farmers. Isn't she? After watering the farmland, the family has to chop wood, weave bamboo baskets, repair houses, and mend holes. That will give us some leisure time. This kid doesn't know.  The difficulty of living." After hearing Yunyao's words, the old farmer immediately thought that Yunyao was not a fairy but a fairy, because only fairies can understand the hard work of labor, and this can truly speak for their farmers.

    "My father-in-law, please continue, he will be left to me." Yunyao said, then looked at Zhuang Zhou and asked: "Where is your home? Take us to your home as guests."

    Zhuang Zhou felt that the other party¡¯s words had a magical power that he could not refuse, so he took the five people back to his home.

    The house is very simple, but very clean. There is also a woman in the house, who is Zhuang Zhou's wife.  At first glance, this wife is a hard-working type. Although she is not beautiful, she is honest and reliable, and she is definitely a good wife.

    When the wife saw her husband coming home with five immortals, she was immediately frightened. She knew her husband. He was not a lustful person, but he was talented and learned. Perhaps some prince took a fancy to her husband's talents and gave him five immortals.  A concubine.  What can I do myself?  Are you going to be kicked out?

    Yao Zhuang's surname is Yao. Zhuang means that she is married to Zhuang Zhou. She has the same surname as Yunyao. Yunyao must be her ancestor. In terms of blood, both people with the same surname come from the same ancient tribe and are of the same bloodline. Yunyao was born five years earlier.  Hundreds of years later, they are naturally ancestors.

    "Who are these five?" Yao Zhuang's eyes were filled with tears, and he was prepared for the worst.

    "Ah? I don't know you. I met you on the road." Zhuang Zhou said blankly. He was confused now. Five beauties suddenly appeared and came to his house as guests. His house was bare and there was nothing to entertain.

    "Don't lie to me." Yao Zhuang said miserably. Although his husband often behaved strangely, how could he meet five beauties in broad daylight?  The husband must not be telling the truth.

    But Yunyao said: "Hello, madam, my name is Yunyao. I did meet your husband on the road, so I came here to have a look. By the way, to verify my guess, I would like to ask, does he work on weekdays?  ?¡±

    Facing the soft-spoken beauty with a gentle face, Yao Zhuang felt at ease inexplicably.  In fact, it was Yunyao who used the calming spell to calm the other party's mind.

    "Working? On weekdays, he either runs around looking for people to quarrel with, or he forgets to eat when he looks at the bamboo slips. He feels tired even after eating. How can he work?" Yao Zhuang counted his husband in detail.She seems to be complaining about her shortcomings, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is actually proud of her husband.  Although Zhuang Zhou was very poor and did not care about his family, his wife believed in her husband's abilities and of course understood her husband's reluctance to be an official.

    ¡°But wives are ordinary people after all, and they will still complain.

    Zhuang Zhou was also a little ashamed at this time, not because he didn't work, but because he lost the debate.  Yunyao is not only sharp in words, but also very rigorous in her work. She makes her claims more solid through verification.

    Yao Zhuang still asked with some uncertainty: "Are the five of you really guests?"

    "Yes, we are here as guests." Yunyao said.

    Yao Zhuang¡¯s face was red, because as the host, he had nothing at home and could only barely eat enough, so he had no time to entertain the guests.  Being rude to guests is very embarrassing for a scholar's family, so she wanted to go next door to borrow some food, but she had to set up a table: "You greet the guests, and I'll borrow some food."

    Yunyao thought of the story of Zhuangzi borrowing grain, and the story of the trout in the dry road, that is, Zhuangzi went to the Marquis of Jianhe to borrow grain, and the Marquis of Jianhe said that he would lend him three hundred gold after he collected the taxes.  Zhuangzi said that I saw a fish in the dry river bed that was about to die, so I told the fish that I would immediately go to the country of Yue in the east and let them dig a canal to divert the sea water from the East China Sea to save you.

    Fish just cursed, you might as well go to the dry goods store and find me.

    In fact, the Marquis of Jianhe also deliberately made things difficult for Zhuangzi, because Zhuangzi was talented but unwilling to be an official. Such disobedient people are always disliked by superiors.

    Although Zhuangzi believed that no one could be offended by his seclusion and poverty, his attitude would make those in power feel looked down upon.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to borrow food, we fairies don¡¯t need to eat.¡± Yunyao said as if joking.

    "Nonsense, everyone has to eat." Yao Zhuang thought that the other party disliked his poverty and said stubbornly: "Although we don't have much money, we also know how to treat guests. Guests should not make fun of us." As a scholar  A man's wife also needs to be polite, otherwise wouldn't she be sorry for her status?

    "Yao Zhuang, since they don't want to eat, don't eat." Zhuang Zhou was not one to stick to trivial matters, so he stopped his wife.

    "But" My husband is talented and knowledgeable, but he is too frivolous. He doesn't even care about hospitality. Isn't this embarrassing?  Although she loves her husband, their ideological realm is still too different, and they cannot reach the realm of harmony and spiritual connection.
