Chapter 223 I Can't Be My Son
Li Xingjian waved his hand.
He has been to Yan's house before, and then Yan Fengchi returned to his hometown. He has been there more than once, and he still knows a little about Yan's house.
Yan's family has no servants. The only one from the capital, Gong Yuqiong, is considered an old servant of the Gongyu family, but has the Yan family treated him as a person? no!
Yan's family can't afford it?
Just the money earned by the Yan family's children, how many servants can't buy it back?
The child of yan's family, he talked most with the girl Xiaoxun, and he actually knew a little about the child's thoughts.
Some of that girl's ideas are actually very close to his ideas, which is why he and that girl almost became friends with each other.
But, he also knows that some ideas are too out of date under the current system, and if they say it, it would be too shocking to the world.
So he never said it, because saying it is not only useless, but may also bring disaster to himself. He can only achieve it slowly through some subtle means.
That girl too.
The difference is that the girl's thoughts are more thorough than his.
And after all, he came from a top wealthy family, and he is a powerful person. Some habits have long been formed. He lives in that circle, and there is no way to completely abandon him. Otherwise, I am afraid that he will have a hard time in this world, let alone what to do.
The sadness of is often in this. What you have worked hard to overthrow may be exactly where you stand.
He can't make a complete change, and he has no ambition to break through. In the end, it may be just cowardice. He can only do what he can do, even if the effect is minimal, but at least he did it himself.
Perhaps this is also a form of self-comfort.
But the little girl in the Yan family is different. She has the ability to protect herself, but she is doing things that help the world. Although she piles everything on the basis of interests, Li Xingjian can understand that little girl's persistence.
My family sent my son over and brought some servants, that little girl would not turn people away, but she would definitely not be happy.
Everyone will have their own persistence. Although this persistence may not be shown, once you go against what she insists on, it will never be possible to approach her heart.
Then it would be meaningless for him to send his son there.
The education of the descendants of the Qi State Duke’s government is actually different from that of other powerful families.
When their brothers were young, although they were served by servants, the Qi family started out with military exploits. Even if it has been passed down for hundreds of years, the Qi family's fundamentals have not changed. Their brothers are more accustomed to self-reliance. The Qi family has no clothes to stretch out their hands to eat and open their mouths. Even if there are slaves, more often they do things by themselves.
What he can do, there is no reason why his son can't do it.
My son is now six years old. It is not a bad thing for him to send him to Yan's house to study for a period of time and suffer some hardships.
The rich and noble nest of brocade clothes and jade food has a high probability of raising people to waste.
There are nearly 100 dukes from the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, how many are still there today? How many of these remaining families are still in the power center of the Great Xia court?
Not much.
There were twenty-four of the founding dukes of Daxia, and none of them were much lower than that of Li, the duke of Qi. But looking at it now, how many of the founding palaces are still standing?
Those families who disappeared in the power center of Daxia are not all raised by their descendants and become more and more useless, isn't it proof that even their ancestors' family business was lost in the end?
He didn't want his son to become such a prodigal in the future, so he would have to suffer a little.
Jade is not cut, not a device.
If you don't endure hardships, how can you be a superior person?
He does not necessarily expect his son to have any great achievements, but at least, he should not be a waste.
Like his wife, he is reluctant to bear the burden of his son at a young age, but there are some things that must be done, and some paths that must be taken.
Since you can’t do it yourself, maybe your son can?
Young people should take greater responsibility! Li Xingjian thought hard.
Li Xingjian waved his hand: "Let him go alone. The two little girls in the Yan family are only three years older than Chu'er. But Madam, think about it, what will Chu'er do in three years? Little girl, what are you doing now? What the little girl in the Yan family can do, even if I can't do it, it shouldn't be too bad."
"Chu'er is very smart. If we really want to train him well, let him suffer some hardships now. Which of the Yan family's young children is not a dragon and a phoenix? Which child is not doing everything? I don’t expect Chuer to learn from them, but one’s life requires good teachers and friends. Young children of the Yan family can be good teachers and good friends. Chuer is good, it’s not you and me. Hope to see it?"
His wife is very good, a woman who understands reason and general knowledge, but the two of them have only one son, and the wife can't help but spoil her.
But it is the common wish of parents all over the world to hope that their children will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes.
Madam , why doesn't she know that if you want your children to be successful, you can't dote on them?
There is no real dragon in a small pond, only the turbulent sea is the dragon abyss. What is the difference between an eagle and a house sparrow if it does not strike the sky?
Mrs. Li sighed. The two of them got married when they were eighteen years old. They only conceived the son after five years. It was difficult. The Duke's Mansion, one of the few imperial mansions in Daxia now standing still, such a family would not be bad for the education of their children.
These truths, how could Mrs. Li not understand?
The founding princes’ mansions were basically born in the military, and military martial arts are the root of these princes’ palaces. Which of her brothers didn’t practice martial arts when they were young, and they were trained in the army at the age of sixteen? Before they emerged in the army, the family would not give any support at all, everything was up to them, and it was always one if they lost their lives, so the family was able to produce talents from generation to generation.
Cruel? Very cruel!
But only in this way, the family will not raise all waste. Generations of talents are the foundation of a family's longevity.
Mrs. Li nodded with difficulty: "Just let him go alone. What about his martial arts practice? He's six years old, and he can lay a solid foundation. This can't be delayed."
Don't look at Li Xingjian's path as a civil official, but whether it is the Duke of Qi's mansion or her family's family, the forces are all in the army.
If my son wants to get more help in the future, joining the army is a better choice.
Li Xingjian laughed: "Madam, don't be fooled by the flower-like appearance of the little girls in the Yan family. Those little girls are all very skilled, not to mention them, how many times have you met the second son of the Yan family? I haven't mentioned it before, do you know that last year, that kid was a master warrior? That's the best martial artist!"
