On the banks of the bright moon lake, green willows are shaded. The rising sun shines on the lake surface, sparkling with golden light.

Some koi play in shallow water foraging, while some small boats rippling in the lake.

On the meadow, the students talked in groups of three or two, and the couple whispered in pairs in the boat.

Another quaint stone arch bridge crossed the lake, and several energetic and young female students crawled on the railings to tease the little fish in the lake.

"So beautiful"!!

"envious"?

"Jealousy". "Another hate".

"Hate is useless. How is it for you to read the "Tao Te Ching"?"

"Uncle, I can recite it at the age of three."

"Does it mean you understand it?"

"Oh, I understand even if I don't understand, and I don't understand even if I understand."

Nalan Zhenbang stopped and turned around and slapped Nalan Zijian with a stick. "Please talk to me less."

Nalan Zijian rubbed his arms and grinned in pain, "Uncle, Aying is watching, can you save me some face?"

Aying, who was standing aside, still had cold face, turned her head to the side, "I saw nothing."

Nalan Zijian sighed, "Oh, it's hard to raise women and villains."

"Ahem, uncle, are you a scholar or a teacher who is a role model? Only the fan in your hand can show more elegant temperament."

Nalan Zhenbang grabbed the thin teaching stick with both hands, "Did you beat me lightly just now?"

"No, no, no, the uncle's temperament just now showed elegance, heavierly had the reckless aura, and his daughter's charm was lighter. Just right."

"If you believe it or not, I will throw you down and feed the fish."

"Cough cough, my nephew read the Tao Te Ching again recently, and he has benefited a lot." "? Mr. Lu Xun once said: "If you don't read the Tao Te Ching, you don't know the Chinese culture and the true meaning of life." Mr. Nan Huaijin said, "

Using Huang Lao inside and Confucianism outside" is used as the only way for a gentleman to cultivate his body and nature." "I recently thought about what is the true meaning of life and what is a gentleman"?

"What tricks do you think about"?

"Knowing that he is heroic and keeping his female, knowing that he is white and keeping his black. Knowing that he is honored and humiliated, those who are in the Tao will lose their losses, and even the most elixirs will be damaged."

Nalan Zhenbang's heart moved slightly, and he tightened the teaching stick in his hand and said lightly: "Continue."

"Where is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if the pile comes from the shore, the current will rush it, and the movement is higher than that of the people, the people will defeat it. The softest part of the world will gallop across the world."

Nalan Zijian Yu Guang looked at Nalan Zhenbang's face carefully and said heavily: "Respect is better than laziness, righteousness is better than desire. Know the hero and keep the female."

The teaching stick in Nalan Zhenbang's hand shook slightly, and his serious expression gradually showed a smile.

"I really think so"?

"Of course, this is my heartfelt insight."

"Papapapapapapa", suddenly, Nalan Zhenbang's teaching stick hit Nalan Zijian. Every time he hit, he scolded him.

"Know the male, keep the female. Spend one million to buy a female student's bracelet."

"Respect defeats laziness, righteousness defeats desire. Force me, a student, to borrow usury as a duck."

"Use Huang Lao internally and demonstrate Confucianism externally. Seducing female students to lose their money by nude loans."

"Boy, this is your perception, or it comes from the heart."

Nalan Zijian was beaten so hard that he screamed and ran away. Nalan Zhenbang waved his teaching stick and chased after him reluctantly.

Aying sighed, unable to bear to look directly at him, and turned her head toward the lake.

A koi jumped out of the water, and under the sunlight, it looked like a golden dragon going out to the sea.

.........

......Nalan Zhenbang was in his 60s and could not escape Nalan Zijian. He was so tired that he ran more than 100 meters.

"Stinky, boy, stop me."

Nalan Zijian stopped and looked back. Nalan Zhenbang bent over, leaned his hands on his knees, and gasped heavily in a breath.

Nalan Zijian was afraid that Nalan Zhenbang would have something to do, so he turned around timidly.

"Uncle, let me say it first, a gentleman should not act."

Nalan Zhenbang waved to him, "I'm not here to help me."

Nalan Zijian walked up to him and reached out to support Nalan Zhenbang. "Uncle, it's not me who said to you, a senior Chinese studies master. At such a young age, he would lose his identity."

Nalan Zhenbang glared at him, pointed to the small boat leaning against the lake, and "help me on board."

Nalan Zijian frowned, as if he had thought of something, and helped Nalan Zhenbang get on the boat.

Aying looked at the boat that had already rowed to the center of the lake and shouted coldly: "Uncle, young master, be careful."

Nalan Zijian waved his hand, "Don't worry, I can catch the moon in heaven and catch turtles in the sea."

"Ahem, uncle, this lake is full of couples, so it's not appropriate for us to raft on the lake."

"You feel wronged"?

"Hehe, don't dare."

"What's the point of not daring you?"

Nalan Zhenbang's eyes closed slightly, and he reached into the lake, which was cool and refreshed, and his whole body was relaxed.

Nalan Zijian looked at Nalan Zhenbang with a relaxed look on his face, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Zi Jian, you know that the male is better than me."

"Hehe, uncle, the sun didn't hit the west today. In my impression, this is the first time you praised me."

"Stop pretending." Nalan Zhenbang slowly opened his eyes.

Nalan Zijian said in surprise: "Uncle, I'm sorry for being stupid, I really don't understand."

Nalan Zhengbang looked at the sparkling lake water and said lightly: "What people fear most is that they have doubts in their hearts. If they are puzzled and cannot settle down all day long. I have not slept for a good night in the past few years."

"Oh, uncle, I know a friend who specializes in treating insomnia and will definitely give you a good night's sleep."

Nalan Zhenbang looked at Nalan Zijian lightly, and he keenly realized that Nalan Zijian's name for him changed from "you" to "you".

"You have so many doubts in your heart and can live so freely, and your uncle is not as good as you."

"Hehe, I'm so confused, for example, why is this lake called Mingyue Lake, why can't the koi in this lake catch two of them and barbecue, for example, I'm so handsome, why don't I have a girlfriend yet? My name is

If you have too much debt, you won’t feel itchy. If you have too much lice, don’t think about it all day long.”

Nalan Zhenbang smiled with relief, "Even uncle doesn't believe it. It's great. The Nalan family has you, it's a blessing."

Nalan Zijian gradually put away his hippie smile and said, "Please give me advice from my uncle."

"I left the Nalan family more than 20 years ago, and I didn't care about any family affairs. In the eyes of others, I am a person who is purely engaged in academic research. Only in this way can I try my best to avoid it."

"Then have you found it?" Nalan Zijian asked with his eyes narrowed.

"No".

“Who is it?”

"I don't know, I can't see or touch it, it seems that it doesn't exist, and it seems that it's everywhere."

"Like a shadow"? Nalan Zijian said lightly.

"Yes, it's everywhere like a shadow, and it's hard to defend against."

"Since there is a shadow, there must be a projected true body."

Nalan Zhenbang frowned slightly, "I have secretly investigated over the past twenty years. There are thousands of images, and the shadows are so vague that it is difficult to distinguish."

"It is not that it is impossible to distinguish, it is just that there are too many knots."

"Do you know who the most difficult enemy you are facing?"

Nalan Zijian smiled faintly, "Grandpa? Parents? The entire Nalan family? You even included before."

Nalan Zhenbang stared at Nalan Zijian in a daze, then laughed loudly, and he was so happy that he leaned back and forth.

"I am worthy of being my good nephew."

Nalan Zijian smiled, "Didn't my uncle scold me for being brave since I was a child? I'm not flirting with fame."

"The Nalan family has been here for several generations. No one dares to break the sky and tell my uncle why?"

"Why is uncle?"

"Because how can the bright world allow shadows to exist? How can the vast sky prevent justice from existing in the world?"

Nalan Zijian smiled and said, "I don't have the high awareness of my uncle. You are not allowed to laugh at me for my reasons."

"Speak and listen"?

"You know I never believe in any bright world or bullshit axioms. I just don't want to see her sad."
