Chapter 12: The Secret of Charm (Part II)
His Royal Highness Li Zhi looked at Wei Yan with a look of admiration and longing, that look, that expression, almost made Wei Yan feel that he was a bird god in the church, with a circle of light behind his head and two bird wings behind him. Quickly dispelling this terrible delusion, Wei Yan began to tell the story.
Jenny is a little girl who always likes to keep her head down, she always thinks that she is not beautiful enough, so she always keeps her head down, unwilling to raise her head to look at others.
One day, she went to buy a green bow, and the merchant kept praising her for being beautiful in the bow, and although Jenny didn't believe it, she was very happy, and couldn't help but raise her head, anxious for everyone to see, and didn't care when she went out and bumped into someone.
Jenny walked into the school and met her teacher, who was happy and patted her on the shoulder affectionately and said to her, "Jenny, you are so beautiful with your head held high!" ”
On that day, she received praise from many people, and she thought that it must be the bow to her heart, but when she went home and looked in front of the mirror, she found that there was no bow on her head at all. The bow is lost when it touches someone when going out.
Wei Yan hugged the little princess, looked at Li Zhi with a smile, and said: "Self-confidence is originally a kind of beauty, there is no factor of appearance, and there are no other factors. Even the ugliest person in the world, as long as he can bravely hold his head high and face everything confidently, he can win the respect of others. A person's charm, to a large extent, comes from self-confidence. People who are not confident, even if they have the most beautiful everything, are just a flash in the pan and fleeting. Confident people are different, his spirit is flying, his never give up, he can always attract the attention of others to the greatest extent, so that others agree with you from the bottom of their hearts and like you. When I say this, can Your Highness understand? ”
His Royal Highness Li Zhi blushed, the children of this era are generally precocious, especially the children of the royal family, Wei Yan's words, he can still understand the meaning, and said a little crampedly: "What Lord Wei means, I understand, it's just that every time I face my father, I will unconsciously start to get nervous, thinking of my homework, what else has not been done well, did Mr. say this to my father, will my father scold me." Master Wei, am I stupid? ”
"Nope! This is not stupidity, but the filial piety of His Highness to His Majesty. Being a son and not letting his father down, this is the most basic filial piety, this is the merit of His Highness, and it is the good thing that His Highness has done, which should be praised. ”
Wei Yan was very gentle and encouraged, Xiao Zhengtai was a little embarrassed to be praised, his little face was pink and pink, how could he still look like he usually played tricks with Wei Yan.
Wei Yan's eyes were very soft when he looked at Li Zhi, Empress Eldest Sun taught her children too well, such a cute child, people always couldn't help but feel pity. Wei Yan understands rationally that he shouldn't care too much about this matter, royal affairs, it's always bad to get too involved, but after really coming into contact with these people who have only been recorded in history, people's hearts and feelings can't help themselves, because this is real, alive, flesh and blood, can cry and laugh, will be happy, will be sad, and the big living people with feelings are no longer cold and thin historical words.
Sighing silently in his heart, Wei Yan said: "Your Highness admires Your Majesty very much, right?" ”
Li Zhi seemed to be the first time someone had told him this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily: "The queen mother has told us a lot about my father's past, and my father was very powerful when he was very young, I ...... Not comparable. The gentlemen also said that I should learn more from my father, be diligent, be hardworking, and not disgrace my father and shame my father, I am the son of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and I must do better than many people. ”
"In my opinion, Your Highness has done a good job, at least, you are much better than me in terms of learning or something, we can only write a piece of writing in the vernacular, and even Your Majesty will help me hide it."
Wei Yan comforted him, it didn't seem to have much effect, and Xiao Zhengtai was still a little sad. After thinking about it, Wei Yan said, "Your Highness, do you remember Guo Jing's story?" ”
"Hmmm! Remember, Guo Jing is a stupid boy! ”
Wei Yan smiled and said, "That's right, Guo Jing is a stupid boy, but he finally became a great hero admired by the world and learned peerless martial arts." You know why? ”
"Because he's hardworking, hardworking, he's been working hard. My father also said that he wanted us to learn from Guo Jing. ”
"Hehe, Your Majesty is wise. That's right, these are Guo Jing's advantages, but I think the most important point is that he has a very clear understanding of himself, knows his strengths and weaknesses, does not feel inferior, does not lie about it, is worse than others, and strives to catch up with it a hundred times harder, and where he is better than others, he can always stick to his true colors, not proud, and he is very persistent. The determined goal, no matter how hard and tiring it is, can stick to it until the day when it is completed. What does Your Highness think? ”
"Well, Master Wei is right."
Li Zhi agreed with Wei Yan's point of view, and Wei Yan continued: "Your Majesty's today, it is also a little bit of hard work, accumulation, no one is born with natural talent, everything needs to be worked hard, everything Your Majesty is now is inseparable from his hard study." You are still young, it is unfair to let you compare with an adult, we can set goals for ourselves, not too long-term, for example, what to do today, what to do tomorrow, what to do within a month, slowly, hard, hard, little by little to improve their knowledge, the sea, is also made up of a grain of water droplets, knowledge also needs to be accumulated a little bit. ”
"Hmmm! Pheasant slave understood, thank you, Lord Wei. ”
Xiao Zhengtai nodded solemnly, Wei Yan smiled with satisfaction, and said to him in vain: "Don't be so polite to me, as long as you remember one thing, in this world, there is no one worse than whom, who is better than whom, the reason why there is a difference, to put it bluntly, is that others work harder than you, Guo Jing's stupid boy can become a big hero, there is no reason why His Royal Highness the King of Jin is so smart that he can't compare to him, right?" ”
Li Zhi smiled, kept nodding, Wei Yan patted him on the shoulder, and said: "That's right, we are manly husbands, we are tall and upright, where we are not as good as others, we will try to catch up, and we must continue to maintain self-confidence, self-reliance, self-improvement, the so-called genius, ninety-nine percent is sweat, and only one percent is the so-called talent." Step up your game! Firmly believe that we are the best! We are the best! OH! ”
“OH!”
"Haha......"
Wei Yan waved his hand, pulled Li Zhi, and shook his fist together, which provoked Xiao Jinyang in his arms to also giggle and join in the fun, and the atmosphere was very pleasant and lively.
After laughing, Li Zhi raised his head, looked at him with admiration, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Lord Wei, no one has ever said these words to the pheasant slave." ”
Wei Yan just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, all without saying a word, in the way of a man.
“…… However, the name taken by Master Wei is really ugly, it is actually called steaming you, why not boil you? ”
“……”
Meow, which eye does he think Xiao Zheng is too cute? Illusion! Delusion for sure!
