Ever since her children came to school in the capital, Jiang Jiuniang has seldom cared about their studies. After all, the teaching resources here are the best and the children have worked hard, so there is no need for her to say anything more. But now, She had to take action.

She decided to take a few children out for a walk to enlighten them.

Specially told them to put on rich clothes and go out together to show off.

Several children were a little confused, but they followed the instructions.

Jiang Jiuniang took them around the city and then to the poor villages in the countryside to see how different people lived. They didn't go home until the sun went down.

"After watching it all day, what are your thoughts?"

Finally it was time to summarize. The three of them were a little nervous. What the third aunt did today, they were I really didn't see any connotation.

Several people lowered their heads and looked embarrassed. This was an unprecedented situation.

Jiang Jiuniang knew that they received the education of masters in the Imperial College, and they had to take exams for merit and fame, otherwise studying would be meaningless.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Jiuniang didn’t expect them to say anything nice, so she changed the question and asked: "Do you still remember why I sent you to school from the beginning?"

Jie Zi immediately replied: "Auntie said that only by studying can you have a future."

Xiao Huzi said: "It is to let everyone live a good life!"

Leizi thought for a while and then spoke cautiously: "Auntie just wants us to learn and be literate so that we can have more ways to make a living than others in the future."

Jiang Jiuniang nodded: "Everything you said is true. Yes, I have said a lot, but I have never asked you to get a degree, right?"

Several people stopped talking. Xiao Huzi was okay, but Leizi and Jiezi were naked. Visibly depressed. Jiang Jiuniang continued: "The most important thing about studying is to make people improve their self-cultivation, know etiquette and observe etiquette, and speak with restraint, instead of being like the second-rate people on the street who only spit shit when they open their mouths. As for the test of merit, it is only based on these. If you have the ability, just give it a try. If you don’t have the ability, don’t force it.”

“Some people spend their whole lives trying to get fame and fame, but never pay attention to other things around them. Such a life is meaningless. Testing for fame is just a part of the long life. In this small stage, you are going to take the examination for scholar, and later you will have to take the examination for Juren and Jinshi. How should you deal with yourself at that time? Relax, it’s not a big deal."

Jiang Jiuniang said, taking a picture Pat them on the shoulder. Now, there is not much I can do to help them.

"Auntie, I want to take the first prize and fight for the title of Lotus and my mother.Come. ”

Lei Zi clenched his fists and looked very serious.

Originally he was quite confident in himself, but after he went to the Imperial Academy, he heard people around him say It’s very difficult. The gentlemen have repeatedly warned me to be careful when reviewing the questions. As time goes by, I gradually lose confidence.

“Leizi, although I know you have good intentions, I still want to make it clear to you. . You are taking the exam for yourself and fulfilling your own ambitions. Don't say it is for your mother and Lotus. Don't impose such thoughts on your mother and Lotus. "

Jiang Jiuniang is very worried about his thoughts. In the future, whenever she quarrels over trivial matters, she will just say: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't..."

Leizi He was a little confused. Before this, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his thinking this way, but when his third aunt said this, he seemed to think it made sense.

It has always been his wish to obtain fame, so why? Just say it's for Lianhua and his mother?

The people around him are obviously here to help, but how can he push this on them?

"I I understand, Auntie, I won’t say that next time. "

He lowered his head, looking a little guilty, which made people feel unbearable.

But Jiang Jiuniang still said: "Although I know you don't have that idea, but say so It's just not right. Everything you do is for yourself, and it is you who will benefit the most. Never do things on the basis of 'for whom'. In this way, not only will your own ideas change, but the people around you will also be affected. You are burdened and have been living in self-blame. "

"I say this not only to Lei Zi, but also to you two. Do you understand? "

They are all children she has watched grow up. Jiang Jiuniang doesn't want them to grow crooked, otherwise the prosperity of the Lu family will not last for a few years.

"We understand. ”

The three children nodded repeatedly, feeling that every time they chatted with the third aunt, they would gain something different.

Their parents would not have this awareness, even if Yes, but I don’t know how to talk to them, so they think that these are correct, and even go as far as possible.

Jiang Jiuniang said again: "You are still young, even if you don’t get it this time, If you pass the exam, just take it again next time. In recent years, the imperial court has been short of capable people, and the emperor will increase the number of scientific exams. You have plenty of opportunities to take the exam, so why bother with this or two failures? If you can't even accept such a failure, it means that your endurance is very weak, and it will be difficult for you to achieve great things in the future. ”

After saying this, the carriage slowly stopped at the door of Lu’s house. Lu Baichuan had been waiting for it for a long time. When he saw the carriage stopped, he took the initiative toHe stepped forward and helped his wife out of the car.

The three boys behind followed with a stern look on their faces. Although they couldn't be said to be suddenly enlightened, their mood was indeed much better than before.

The three of them followed Jiang Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan eagerly all the way, and took them back to the main courtyard before going back separately.

Lu Baichuan felt sorry for her and went out for a day run while she was pregnant, and said: "They are all grown up and have their own ideas. They will understand many things gradually. Why do you worry about it?"

Jiang Jiuniang did not answer his question directly, but asked: "When you left home to become a escort, was it for yourself or me?"

Lu Baichuan looked at her, with a look on his face. Her expression was hard to describe. At that time, she was not the same as she is now, and the two had just gotten married. How could it be for her?

“For myself, I want to go out and see the outside world and look for opportunities to make a difference.”

“Well, this is a normal idea for you, but Lei Zi What I’m talking about today is that he took the merit examination for the sake of Lotus and his sister-in-law, but it happened that this was not what Lotus and his sister-in-law asked him to do at all. He thinks so himself, and even opened his mouth to say that it was for them. Maybe it doesn’t mean anything in your opinion. , but in my opinion it is a very serious matter. This is the beginning of shirking responsibility. When a person starts to shirk responsibility, that person is not far from failure."

Jiang Jiuniang knows that maybe Lu Baichuan couldn't understand her thoughts, and Leizi's thinking that way was also a sign of his concern for his family, but the hidden dangers were really hard to tell.

But she underestimated Lu Baichuan's understanding ability. When she said this, Lu Baichuan understood that she had good intentions and details determined success or failure. He had to learn from his wife in terms of childcare.
