Chapter 223: I Can’t Do It Myself, but My Son Enters
Li Xingjian waved his hand.
He had been to the Yan family before, and later Yan Fengchi returned to his hometown. He had been there more than once, and he knew a little about the Yan family.
There are no servants in the Yan family. Gong Yuqiong, the only one from the capital, is considered an old servant of the Gongyu family, but does the Yan family treat him as a current person? No!
Can’t the Yan family afford it?
With the money earned by the Yan family’s children, how many slaves could not be bought back?
Among the children of the Yan family, he talked to the girl Xiaoxun the most. In fact, he had some understanding of that child's thoughts.
Some of that girl's ideas were actually very close to his ideas, which was why he and that girl had almost become friends forever.
However, he also knew that some ideas were too out of date under today's system, and if he said them out, they would be too shocking.
So he never said anything, because not only would it be useless, but it might also bring trouble to himself. He can only achieve it slowly through some subtle means.
The same goes for that girl.
The difference is that that girl's thoughts are more thorough than his.
After all, he comes from a top wealthy family and is a powerful person himself. He has developed some habits a long time ago. He lives in that circle and there is no way to completely abandon them. Otherwise, I am afraid that he will find it difficult to gain a foothold in this world, let alone do anything.
This is often the sad thing about people. What you spend your whole life trying to overthrow may be exactly where you stand.
He can't make a complete change, and he doesn't have the ambition to rebuild after breaking. In the final analysis, it may be just cowardice. He can only do what he can, even if the effect is minimal, but at least he did it himself.
Perhaps this is also a kind of self-comfort.
But the little girl of the Yan family is different. She has the ability to take care of herself, but she is doing things to benefit the world. Although she bases everything on profit, Li Xingjian can understand the little girl's persistence.
I send my son there and bring some servants with me. The little girl won't turn people away, but she will 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, you will never be able to get close to her heart.
Then it would be meaningless for him to send his son there.
The education of the descendants of the Duke of Qi is actually different from that of other powerful families.
Although their brothers had servants to serve them when they were young, the Qi family started out with military merit. Even if it has been passed down for hundreds of years, the fundamentals of the Qi family have not changed. The brothers are more accustomed to being self-reliant. There is no one in the Qi family who has enough clothes to put out his hands and food to open his mouth. Even if they have slaves, most of the time they do things themselves.
There's no reason why his son can't do things he can do.
My son is now six years old. It is not a bad thing for him to be sent to the Yan family to study for a period of time and suffer some hardships.
A wealthy nest with fine clothes and fine food has a high probability of raising a person to waste.
The total number of founding princes of Daxia was nearly a hundred. How many of them are still alive today? Of these families who are still here, who are really still at the center of power in the Great Xia court, who am I?
Not much left.
There were twenty-four founding dukes of Daxia, and none of them had a lower status than Li, the duke of Qi. But looking back now, how many of the founding princes still survive?
Bidige
Aren't the families that disappeared in the center of power in Great Xia proof that their descendants became more and more useless, and in the end even the ancestral family property was lost?
He didn't want his son to become such a prodigal son in the future, and he would have to suffer a lot.
Jade is not cut, not a device.
If you don't endure hardships, how can you be superior to others?
He doesn't necessarily expect his son to achieve great achievements, but at least he shouldn't become a waste.
Like his wife, he was reluctant to have his son take on something at such a young age, but there were some things that had to be done and some roads that had to be walked.
Since I can't do it myself, maybe my son can?
Young people should take greater responsibilities! Li Xingjian thought cruelly.
Li Xingjian waved his hand: "Let him go alone. The two little girls of the Yan family are only three years older than Chu'er. But think about it, madam, what will Chu'er be able to do in three years? And the Yan family's Little girl, what are you doing now? Even if my son can’t do what the little girl of the Yan family can do, it shouldn’t be too far behind. "
"Chu'er is very smart. If we really want to train him well, then let him suffer some hardships now. Among the young children of the Yan family, which one is not the best among them? The Yan family has no shortage of wealth as long as they want it, but others Which child doesn’t do everything by himself? I don’t expect Chu’er to learn from them, but a person’s life is indispensable with good teachers and friends. Young children of the Yan family can be good teachers and good friends. Chu’er is good, isn’t it just you and me? What do you want to see?"
His wife is a very good woman, a sensible and general woman, but since they only have one son, she can't help but dote on him a little bit.
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, don’t you know that if you want your children to succeed, you can’t pamper them?
A real dragon cannot be raised in a small pond, only the rough sea is the abyss of dragons. If an eagle does not fly in the sky, what is the difference between it and a house sparrow?
Mrs. Li sighed. They got married when they were eighteen, and they were pregnant with their son five years later. It was difficult. After giving birth, she was unable to get pregnant again. This was their only child. Mrs. Li was also born in the country. The Duke's Mansion is one of the few standing government houses in Daxia. Such a family will not be bad at educating their children.
How could Mrs. Li not understand these principles?
Most of the founders of the Duke's office came from military backgrounds, and military service was the foundation for these Dukes' offices to remain strong. Which of her brothers had not been practicing martial arts since they were young, and had been put into the army to practice at the age of sixteen? Before they rose to prominence in the military, their family would not give them any support at all. They had to rely on themselves for everything. It was Chang Yi who even lost their lives, so the family could produce talents from generation to generation.
Cruel? Very cruel!
But only in this way can the family not raise all waste. Talents from generation to generation are the foundation for the long-term prosperity of the family.
Mrs. Li nodded with difficulty: "But if we let him go alone, what will happen to his martial arts training? He is six years old and can lay the foundation. This cannot be delayed."
Even though Li Xingjian was a civil servant, whether it was the Duke of Qi or her natal family, their influence was in the military.
If my son wants to get more help in the future, joining the army would be a better choice.
Li Xingjian laughed: "Madam, don't be fooled by the pretty appearance of those little girls from the Yan family. All of those little girls have extraordinary skills. Not to mention them, how many times have you seen the second son of the Yan family? I I haven't mentioned it to you before, but do you know that that kid became a Grandmaster-level warrior last year? He is the best martial arts master!"
