#143 - How many children are born in one birth? (Please order)
As the bus entered the ancient city of Gusu, the age-old atmosphere rushed towards us.
Outside the window, the ancient city walls stood on the horizon, like guardians of time, weathered and dignified.
Green vines swayed on the city walls, and ancient buildings with upturned eaves came into view, with red walls and dark tiles.
Inside the ancient city, small bridges and flowing water led to secluded paths, with streams murmuring.
The streets were clean, and the old shops on both sides were full of dazzling goods, selling traditional mahogany furniture, silk, ceramics... you name it.
After arriving at the city center and getting off the bus, Lu Yu instructed:
"Listen up, everyone, you must do your best to have fun, and having fun counts as work performance!"
He thought to himself: It seems these guys haven't escaped from the atmosphere of work yet, he needs to increase the intensity.
That afternoon, the Taoyuan Village tour group went to the Humble Administrator's Garden.
The antique garden, with its green bamboo, red walls, and blue tiles, complemented each other, with rockeries and ancient trees reaching the sky, like a three-dimensional landscape painting.
In the pond, several colorful fish frolicked, and lotus flowers bloomed in competition. The occasional bird song made people feel as if they were in a fairyland.
The worried looks on many people's faces began to dissipate, replaced by a rosy glow.
Afterwards, they passed through quiet alleys and arrived in front of Lingyin Temple. The temple was hidden in the lush green mountains, solemn and serene, with incense smoke curling up, monks chanting scriptures devoutly, peaceful and serene.
Many employees slowly realized that their mood was not so impetuous anymore.
At dusk, the tour group came to the West Lake, with its rippling blue waves, clear water, and swaying willows, their branches dancing.
The Broken Bridge of West Lake in the distance was like a silver rainbow spanning the lake.
The employees boarded boats to enjoy the scenery. The lake water rippled, and as they went deeper into the lake, they were surrounded by green mountains, the lake water was deep, as if they had entered a paradise.

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the level of points income has not fully recovered, this is still a good sign.
So you think you can't be cured, huh!?
No matter how impatient or competitive you are, I have to straighten you out!
Lu Yu immediately decided to stay in a luxury 5-star hotel in the city that night.
Before dismissing everyone, Lu Yu specifically instructed:
"Since we're out having fun, we need to focus on it. Don't use any social media apps tonight, and get some rest early. We'll continue tomorrow."
...
After 8 p.m. that night, comments gradually increased on the various official media accounts of Taoyuan Village.
Because, whether it was fans or those just watching for fun, they all discovered that Taoyuan Village had no response or expression for the entire day.
The number of comments under the official account increased visibly.
"Wow, I've heard that Taoyuan Village is a very Buddhist company, but I didn't expect it to be this Buddhist!"
"So, do you guys even have a way to deal with it? Su Yufan's fans are already jumping in your faces!"
"All the major media outlets have retracted their articles. Aren't the official guys worried at all?"
Some onlookers and haters took the opportunity to stir up trouble:
"No rebuttal means you're admitting it, right? You're admitting that your new game is vulgar?"
"So, my brother Yufan is not wrong at all. Those haters are just hating on my brother!"
"Hahaha, Taoyuan Village is playing dead and going silent. That's right. Whether it's the size of Youyi or the number of Su Yufan's fans, your small company can't afford to offend them. If you knew this would happen, why did you have to make a game with the same theme as Youyi in the same time slot, and send yourself to their guns? Who else would they bully if not you?"
In the "Mouth Cannon Life" project team's group chat, everyone who couldn't sleep was also discussing enthusiastically:
Zhang Fan: "Does anyone know what Mr. Lu is suddenly up to? Although I know Mr. Lu is an old layered pancake, I can't see through even one layer this time. But, there are a lot of beautiful women in Gusu, and I'm having a little fun."
Shao Peng: "I think so too. If we were going to have a team-building event, we could have waited until the project was launched. But Mr. Lu brought us to Gusu so quickly, it was really caught off guard. But I have to say, boating on West Lake is really fun."
Yao Jun: "Okay, okay, you all said Mr. Lu is an old layered pancake, so how can we easily see through his intentions?"
Lin Ying: "@Liu Mengyuan, CEO Liu, do we need to send some news to appease the players' emotions? For example, tell them that we are having a team-building event and will deal with it later?"
Hao Shuwen: "Wow, the players are anxious for us. If we tell them that the whole company is eating, drinking, and having fun, will their blood pressure be even higher?"
Liu Mengyuan: "Don't worry about this matter yet, because... I don't understand Lu Yu's intentions either. I'll talk about it when I understand."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh. Even the boss's wife can't understand it. How many layers does Mr. Lu's pancake have this time!
...
The next day, the tour group continued to visit Hanshan Temple, Lion Grove Garden, and Zhouzhuang Ancient Town...
After lunch, everyone came to the foot of Leifeng Pagoda.
The pagoda stood majestically by the lake, ancient bricks and tiles inlaid with mottled time, the Buddha statues solemn and serene, surrounded by incense.
Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan climbed to the top of the tower, and the entire ancient city was in full view, as if they had traveled through a thousand years of time.
Liu Mengyuan smiled: "I still remember watching "The Legend of the White Snake" when I was a child. At that time, I felt that the relationship between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen was really a test of people's hearts, especially the part where Xu Xian fed Bai Suzhen realgar wine."
Lu Yu replied: "At that time, Xu Xian was also bewitched by Fahai, after all, Bai Suzhen was a snake demon. But the persistence and courage of the two people eventually achieved consummation."
The girl stomped her feet: "Yes, it's all that Fahai's fault."
She looked at Lu Yu's profile, her small eyes rolled, and pointed to the willow by the shore:
"If... I mean if, there is a willow tree spirit transformed into a girl, who meets you, and then, is also imprisoned by Fahai, will you save her?"
At this time, the surrounding employees suddenly pricked up their ears with a gossipy look.
Lu Yu answered almost instantly: "Of course I will! Otherwise, I have to raise all the children by myself. You know, raising children is too troublesome."
"Ch-children..." Liu Mengyuan's face turned red.
Lu Yu continued: "Besides, even if I can't save her, the children can save her when they grow up."
"What if the children can't save her either?" Liu Mengyuan continued to ask, blushing.
"Then there are too few children." Lu Yu sighed, "If I have three or five children in one birth, I don't believe there is no pagoda that can't be split."
"Do you have to give birth to so many in one birth..."
Liu Mengyuan muttered softly, her face flushed, playing with her braids.
The employees rolled their eyes. Good guy, you two are playing riddles and showing affection here every day. Why haven't you gotten your marriage certificate yet?
...
In the afternoon, everyone came to the Art Museum of Gusu City to visit.
In the museum, Lu Yu took everyone to see many cultural relics depicting the ancient secluded pastoral life.
In the calligraphy and painting area, everyone watched "Mountain Spring and Stone Stream" and "Secluded Residence in Bamboo Forest."
In the paintings, mountain springs flowed, boulders were rugged, and the reclusive sages practiced in the bamboo forest.
In the scene model area, "Quiet Study in the Academy" and "Morning Bell in the Zen Room" were displayed.
The antique study room contained ancient books, stationery, and inkstones, showing the elegant life of ancient scholars.
In the Zen room at dawn, monks were ringing the morning bell, cultivating their minds and bodies, and pursuing spiritual purification.
Afterwards, they continued to look at the coir raincoats, straw hats, hoes, pottery pots used by ancient hermits...
Finally, Lu Yu stopped in front of a "Collection of Poems" copied by a hermit, and asked everyone to look at the poems in it:
"Planting beans under the South Mountain, the grass is lush and the bean seedlings are sparse. Rising early to manage the weeds, carrying a hoe home under the moon."
"Do not listen to the sound of rain beating through the forest, why not chant and walk slowly."
"Looking back at the desolate place, returning, there is no wind, no rain, no sunshine."
"Not surprised by honor or disgrace, leisurely watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; going without intention, casually watching the clouds roll and unfurl in the sky."
"Laughing loudly towards the sky, I am not a common person!"
Lu Yu felt that before, he was just giving employees benefits without thinking, giving them vacations, and giving them money.
But their spiritual world was very empty, and they still couldn't get rid of the anxiety of involution.
So, he opened his mouth leisurely:
"Everyone, seeing these ancient poems, I hope everyone can have some enlightenment.
In fact, this trip is not just for you to relax, but also to let everyone experience the living wisdom of the ancients' eloquent words.
The ancients planted beans under the South Mountain, and knew how to find satisfaction in the ordinary. Perhaps we don't need to put our eyes too far away, but focus on the happiness around us.
We are often disturbed by the fast-paced life, but perhaps, we need to learn to slow down, to feel the tenderness of the wind blowing across our faces, to listen to the sounds of nature.
Watching the flowers bloom and fall leisurely in front of the court, whether we are proud or frustrated, we should be calm and composed.
No matter what happens, we laugh loudly towards the sky, life is about being open-minded and optimistic!
In addition, everyone should learn a few more poems. When we eat and drink tonight, we will play the "Flying Flowers Order" game to add to the fun."
After saying this, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, although the middle school Chinese reading comprehension has been returned to the teacher, I can still fool around by searching Baidu.
Looking at the employees of Taoyuan Village staring at him with wide eyes, Lu Yu was quite proud.
[After hearing your advice, all the employees of Taoyuan Village felt spiritually invigorated and happy, and resonated with you, Leisure Points +150]
Happily watching the points come into his account, Lu Yu thought,
It seems that the spiritual transformation of these guys is still very effective?
However, what he didn't know was that,
At this time, the employees of Taoyuan Village were already feeling turbulent and excited.
Here it comes!
Mr. Lu is finally here with his chicken soup jokes!
The project is saved!
