Chapter 1075: Filial Piety
"Brother Li has thought about what kind of hard work his elderly parents went through to support and provide for Brother Li's imperial examination? How many cold eyes have you experienced? Shen Yan didn't stop at all because Li Yunhao's face showed a trace of indignation, but glanced at Li Yunhao lightly, still with that look without the slightest emotion, and continued.
"Brother Li, don't tell me that you have never been related to your elderly parents, or you have never been related to what kind of experience your elderly parents have had over the years, and how many people have been coldly eyed."
"What does Lord Shen mean by this?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, Li Yunhao seemed to think of something, but for a while, he didn't seem to be able to let go of his face, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Shen Yan intently, and said with a little excitement.
"Brother Li seems to have not been in contact with his elderly parents for several years." Seeing Li Yunhao's expression, the corners of Shen Yan's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a bright smile, and said slowly with a hearty smile.
Although Brother Li has lived a very poor life over the years, the fire of dreams in his heart has not been extinguished, but he has become more and more courageous. However, Brother Li has thought about how his elderly parents in his hometown have been doing all these years? Are they happy? Did you suffer some unfair treatment because of Brother Li's mismatch? ”
"Lord Shen, doesn't you know how my parents have been doing all these years?" Hearing Shen Yan's inquiry, Li Yunhao's eyes flashed with a touch of guilt, all these years for the dream of the imperial examination in his heart, and his repeated failures, so he has not been in contact with his parents in his hometown over the years, he really doesn't know how his parents have been doing these years, thinking of this, Li Yunhao's heart can't help but feel a trace of guilt.
"Brother Li, you don't need me to investigate, you can also think of yourself, a person who is full of hope for his children's imperial examination and fully supports, but in the past few years, as a dear parent, although there will be no complaints, but there must be some gossip around you, if it is just one or two sentences, no matter who you think can bear it, but such gossip has been whispered in the ears of your elderly parents, it is estimated that your elderly parents must not be able to bear it." A look of helplessness flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, as if he was stating something that made him more depressed, or that Shen Yan brought some emotions into his statement.
"So, Brother Li thinks that how much white eyes your elderly parents have suffered in their hometown over the years, and what kind of gossip they have experienced, I think Brother Li must be able to understand." Speaking of this, Shen Yan paused and stopped speaking, but a strange look appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at Li Yunhao lightly, as if he wanted to detect something from the other party's eyes.
"What Lord Shen said is very true, I have indeed been ashamed of my parents over the years, however, if I don't get a lift, how can I face my elderly parents." Li Yunhao's eyes flashed with guilt, but there seemed to be some sophistry in his words, justifying his behavior over the years.
"Brother Li is already too crazy about the imperial examination." Hearing Li Yunhao's words, a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, although he understood Li Yunhao's pursuit, but Shen Yan did have some different opinions on Li Yunhao's approach, in addition to dreams and pursuits, the first thing people should consider is survival, if they can't even solve it, or even the most basic living security can't be solved, how can they talk about dreams and pursuits.
Li Yunhao's current behavior is to put the most basic living security on the support of his elderly parents, and he has not considered the feelings of his elderly parents, or Li Yunhao has thought of these, but he can't measure the weight of them, so he can only persuade these not to deliberately think about this, and to avoid helplessly in his heart.
Li Yunhao's choice doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, if you have to evaluate Li Yunhao, you can only stand from a moral point of view, you can only say that Li Yunhao chose a kind of indifferent unfilial behavior, to be precise, Li Yunhao put aside filial piety for his own dreams and pursuits.
Li Yunhao thought that when he passed the imperial examination and was released to the officials, he would take his elderly parents to his side for filial piety, but Li Yunhao did not expect that he had not been promoted all these years, and during this period, he also neglected to care and pay attention to his parents, did not understand the gossip and some unfair treatment they suffered in his hometown, and did not sincerely think about the feelings of his parents. Second, I didn't think about whether I would be able to be released as an official even if I was promoted? Even if you can be released as an official, can you take your parents to your side after being released as an official, and your parents will be able to get used to the new living environment? To put it bluntly, Li Yunhao did not really consider the feelings of his parents, which is not a kind of betrayal of filial piety.
"Poor disciples want to get ahead, the only way is the imperial examination, as the so-called learning of literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, I have been in the cold for ten years, and I have read poetry and books for many years, isn't it just to want to fight for a good future." Li Yunhao's face showed a complicated look, with a hint of hesitation, and then a touch of perseverance flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly.
"It doesn't matter if any dream and pursuit is right or wrong, if we have to evaluate, it is what our choice is halfway." Seeing Li Yunhao's expression, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, although Li Yunhao was still persisting for his dreams and pursuits, but Li Yunhao's words obviously revealed some uncertain factors, and he had some unconfident emotions about his persistence over the years.
This emotion seems to be tight, and even Li Yunhao can restrain it well, but Shen Yan understands that if this emotion is properly expanded, Li Yunhao will not be able to restrain it at all, although it will not become a fatal existence, but it will definitely affect all Li Yunhao's emotions, and even become the last straw that crushes the camel.
"Brother Li is not wrong to insist on the dream of the imperial examination, and even said that this kind of persistence is commendable and worthy of learning from many poor students." The corners of Shen Yan's mouth lifted slightly, revealing an indifferent smile, with a touch of deep meaning, he shook his head slightly, and continued.
"But Brother Li has never thought about his elderly parents over the years, he has not experienced their feelings, it can be said that there is filial piety without filial piety, let alone filial piety, if Brother Li still insists on this dream of the imperial examination that makes the elderly parents unable to raise their heads, then I have not been here today, and I have not talked to Brother Li." When Shen Yan said this, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and with a touch of indifference, he said slowly.
"Brother Li, don't mind, I didn't come here today without any intention of preaching, although you and I don't have too much intersection, but Brother Li is a talented person, and you and I both belong to that kind of poor background, and I was lucky to take a shortcut, so Brother Li insisted on the imperial examination without any fault." Seeing that Li Yunhao's mouth opened slightly, Shen Yan smiled indifferently, blocked what Li Yunhao wanted to say, and gave Li Yunhao any opportunity to refute, making the other party feel that he was really wrong and really did not fulfill his filial piety.
