Chapter 265: Perspective

At the beginning of September, Jiang Chuanxiong rarely took half a day to take Jiang Yuetang to Dahe Township to see the lotus. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This day happened to be Shangguan Chemu's rest day, so Jiang Yuetang had no classes.

But Jiang Yuetang still used the morning time to review the content that Shangguan Che had taught her in the past few months, and only in the afternoon did she set off with Jiang Chuanxiong with peace of mind.

Dahe Township is on the outskirts of the city, and it takes three quarters of an hour to travel by carriage from Jiangfu.

Along the way, Jiang Yuetang enjoyed the scenery outside the window with relish.

They passed through the rich areas with gorgeous houses and the poor areas with poor decorations, and saw two completely different lives.

"Daddy, why is there such an obvious gap between the rich and the poor in the same place?" Jiang Yuetang couldn't help but ask Jiang Chuanxiong.

Jiang Chuanxiong replied: "There are policy reasons and geographical reasons, but the most important thing is personal reasons. ā€

He touched her head and continued: " Some people are born with flexible brains and are good at looking for opportunities to make money, so they can make money; some people are well-born and well-educated, and when they grow up, they will be able to have a half-official position, and they will have a fixed income, so they can also live a decent and prosperous life; although some people are from very ordinary backgrounds, they have ambition and are willing to study, so they can rely on their own efforts to break a path in society, and of course such people can also live a good life; if a person does not want to make progress and does not like to use his brain, unless his family is extremely rich, it will still be difficult for him to live a prosperous life in this life; and some people are because of his characterOf course, there is also a kind of person who is born indifferent to fame and fortune, in their eyes, it doesn't matter whether they are rich or poor, as long as they live plainly. ā€

"Then Daddy belongs to a type of person who is well-born, well-educated and loves to use his brains. Jiang Yuetang smiled.

Jiang Chuanxiong also smiled and said: "These alone are far from being the first assistant, but also have a strong sense of responsibility and mission for the country and the people, these two things are not enough, but also know how to make good decisions, know how to advance and retreat, and not make enemies." 'Don't make enemies' is particularly important, I didn't think much of it before, but now I feel more and more important. ā€

"Has Daddy ever had an enemy in his life?" Jiang Yuetang asked curiously.

"Maybe some people see me as an enemy, but I don't have an enemy in my heart. Jiang Chuanxiong smiled.

"Therefore, even if others want to deal with you, you won't accept it, right?" Jiang Yuetang tilted his head to look at him and asked.

"Yes, my enemy is only myself, and now I am slowly reconciled with myself, haha. Jiang Chuanxiong said with a smile.

He was fifty-two years old and could see everything through.

Jiang Yuetang suddenly remembered the sentence 'The husband is the only one who can't fight, so the world can't fight with him', and his heart suddenly became clear.

They got off the carriage at the entrance of the village in Dahe Township, and then walked along the ten-mile lotus pond to watch.

This is exactly when the lotus flowers bloom, but unfortunately there are not many blooms this year, so all they can see are large green lotus leaves, and only occasionally one or two red or pink lotus flowers bloom on this lotus leaf.

But just like the saying 'rare things are precious', these sparse lotus flowers that bloom on the ground are extremely eye-catching.

"Burn agarwood, kill the heat. Birds and birds are calling their eyes, invading the eaves. The early sun on the leaves is dry and rainy, the water surface is clear and round, and the wind lifts it one by one. 1 Jiang Yuetang couldn't help but groan.

Jiang Chuanxiong also echoed: "My hometown is far away, when will I go." He lives in Wumen and has been a Chang'an brigade for a long time. May fisherman remembers each other. Xiao Ji light boat, dreaming of Furong Pu. 2ā€

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and continued to walk.

In a narrow aisle, a middle-aged couple carrying something came to them. The aisle was too narrow to allow one person to pass by, so Jiang Chuanxiong said to Jiang Yuetang and his subordinates: "I'll take a few steps back first, let them go first." ā€

Jiang Yuetang nodded.

One of Jiang Chuanxiong's subordinates was a little puzzled, and said while taking a step back: "My lord, you are older than them and have a higher status than them, they should let you first, right?" ā€

"They carry the burden, we are empty-handed, of course it is better for us to retreat. Jiang Chuanxiong replied.

The man was silent.

After the couple had passed with their belongings, the group continued on their way.

When the sun turns west, the sun is not so violent, and the wind blows softly, carrying the fragrance of flowers, which makes them feel more comfortable.

They walked and watched, but they didn't take the flowers seriously, but enjoyed the feeling of strolling through the countryside even more. Little by little, the sun sank in the west, and the setting sun stained the horizon red.

For Jiang Yuetang, who especially likes to enjoy the sunset, this is another excellent opportunity to appreciate, so she stands on a big stone by the lotus pond and admires the sunset on the horizon intently.

The others also stopped and chatted while watching the sunset.

At that moment, Jiang Yuetang suddenly wanted to stand on a higher place to find a better perspective to see the sunset and the world in front of her, so she said to Jiang Chuanxiong: "Daddy, I want to go to the mountain in front of me and watch the sunset there." ā€

That place didn't seem to be far from where they were, but it would take some time to really walk, but since Jiang Yuetang wanted to go, Jiang Chuanxiong was willing to meet her little request, so he smiled and accompanied her on the road.

It took them about two quarters of an hour to reach the top of the mountain, and they stood on the grassy slope of the top of the mountain and watched the sunset and everything beneath their feet.

"Daddy, why have you been an official for nearly thirty years without making enemies?" Jiang Yuetang asked Jiang Chuanxiong.

Although she once felt that Sima Yu and Jiang Chuanxiong seemed to have some hostile intentions, perhaps, as Jiang Chuanxiong said, 'I have no enemies', Jiang Chuanxiong skillfully balanced the hostility of the other party with his own attitude.

Jiang Chuanxiong smiled and asked her, "How do you feel when you stand on the top of the mountain and look at everything in front of you?"

She thought about it seriously and replied, "See farther and more comprehensively." ā€

"What else?"

Jiang Yuetang thought about it again and said, "Everything seems to have become smaller. ā€

"Yes," Jiang Chuanxiong said approvingly, "when we stand here, what we thought was very serious before, now suddenly we feel that it is nothing. I hated someone before, but now I don't hate it so much. All because your horizons have widened, and your heart has widened with it. But this is not enough, if we want to spontaneously benefit and love all sentient beings, then we should look at everything in the world from the perspective of the gods. ā€

Jiang Yuetang pondered his words carefully, nodded and said, "I understand, thank you Daddy!"
