In the glorious years of the Tang Dynasty, there was a young man named Li Xiaobai, who was not from a famous family, but with his righteousness and extraordinary wisdom, he left a good story in Chang'an City. Li Xiaobai has a bold personality, especially loves the things in the cup, whenever the wine is hot, he can always have a unique perspective into people's hearts, which is the "drunken reading technique" he learned from the family elders since he was a child.
Showing its edge
Li Xiaobai has lived in an old street and alley in Chang'an City since he was a child, where the voices of the three religions and nine streams converge. His grandfather was a well-informed and well-informed businessman. Whenever night fell, the grandfather and grandson would put a few dishes and a pot of good wine in the small courtyard, and the grandfather would teach Li Xiaobai his set of "drunken reading skills" when he was slightly drunk.
"Xiaobai, this wine is a good thing, it can make people unguard and reveal their true temperament." Grandfather said with a smile, his eyes shining with wisdom, "And our 'drunken reading technique' is to see through the essence of a person in this moment after drinking. ”
Li Xiaobai didn't care about it at first, but thought that it was his grandfather's drunken nonsense. However, as he grew older, he gradually found that whenever he talked to someone after drinking, he could always capture some information from the other person's words and demeanor that was difficult to detect in ordinary times, which made him have a strong interest in "drunken reading".
Tavern Storm
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaobai has grown into a handsome and dashing young talent. He often went to a tavern called "Drunken Immortal Residence" in Chang'an City, which was a gathering place for heroes and heroes from all walks of life, and it was also the best place for Li Xiaobai to practice the "drunken reading technique".
One day, the tavern was full of people, and Li Xiaobai sat alone in the corner, holding a wine glass in his hand, and his eyes swept around. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a gorgeously dressed boy with an arrogant look. This son-in-law is talking with a few friends, and his words are full of disdain and belittlement for others.
"Hmph, these people think they are superior to others because of their prominent family background." Li Xiaobai thought secretly in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to draw conclusions. He approached quietly and found an opportunity to talk to Childe. After a few glasses of wine, Brother Gongzi's conversation box was completely opened, and he began to talk about his great achievements, but he turned a blind eye to the efforts of others.
Li Xiaobai listened quietly, a subtle light flashing in his eyes. When Brother Gongzi spoke dryly, and finally stopped to rest, Li Xiaobai smiled lightly and said, "Childe is talented and admirable. But I don't know if Childe ever thought that everything in this world complements each other, and if there is no power from others, how much can Childe achieve? ”
When Brother Gongzi heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he pretended to be calm and smiled: "Brother Li is reasonable, but this son has his own reason." With that, he excused himself and left in a hurry.
Looking at the back of Brother Gongzi's departure, Li Xiaobai shook his head lightly, and thought to himself: "Although this person is talented, he thinks very highly of himself and is difficult to tolerate others. In the long run, it will be difficult to achieve great things. ”
Sincerity for truth
Although the "drunken reading technique" is wonderful, Li Xiaobai knows that true wisdom lies in treating people with sincerity. He often takes advantage of his drunken opportunities to have long conversations with seemingly ordinary people who have dreams, and give them encouragement and help.
Once, Li Xiaobai met a scholar named Zhang San in a tavern. Zhang San was dressed in rags and had a sad face, and was sitting alone in the corner drinking silently. Seeing this, Li Xiaobai took the initiative to talk. After a few glasses of wine, Zhang San finally opened his heart, it turned out that he had tried repeatedly, and in frustration, he decided to give up the road of the imperial examination and return to his hometown to farm.
"Brother Zhang is talented, how can he give up easily?" When Li Xiaobai heard this, he hurriedly comforted, "Although the road to the imperial examination is difficult, as long as you have a dream in your heart, you should move forward bravely." ”
When Zhang San heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but then it dimmed again: "Brother Li doesn't know, my family is poor, I have no money and no power, how can I compete with those children of the family?" ”
When Li Xiaobai heard this, he smiled slightly, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and handed it to Zhang San: "Brother Zhang, this is a little bit of my heart for you." May you regain your confidence and continue to pursue your dreams. ”
Zhang San took the silver, burst into tears, and thanked him repeatedly. Since then, he has studied more diligently, and finally won the imperial examination a few years later, becoming a pillar of the court. And the friendship between Li Xiaobai and him has also become a good story in Chang'an City.
The light of wisdom
With the passage of time, the "drunken reading technique" was carried forward in Li Xiaobai's hands. He is no longer limited to judging a person by his drunken words and behaviors, but pays more attention to observing a person's inner world and understanding their thoughts and pursuits. With his wisdom and kindness, he has helped many people get out of the predicament and realize their dreams.
In Chang'an City, Li Xiaobai's name gradually spread, and people said that he was a good man with affection, righteousness and superior wisdom.
