Chapter 206: The Threefold Meaning of Filial Piety
Guo's mother was born in a small family, although her status is not high, but she has been knowledgeable since she was a child; After marrying into Guo's mansion, due to the early death of Guo Jia's father, Guo's mother could only use the slender hands of adjusting fat and powder, stroking the qin and holding the pen, holding hoes and chopping wood, washing clothes and mowing grass, coupled with a long-term rough diet, and even a full meal of hunger, resulting in less than 40 years old, but her temples are white!
Despite the hardships of life, she still personally enlightened Guo Jia, and then sent Guo Jia to Yingchuan Academy to cultivate a genius who has become famous through the ages.
But in a general sense, Guo Jia is not a filial son.
If Guo's mother's hard work was exchanged for 10 points of resources, Guo's mother spent at least nine points on Guo Jia's body, and she only kept one point to survive.
Things in the world are so unfair, raising children is very different from planting in spring and harvesting in autumn.
The more pampered children are, the less they can appreciate the hard work of their parents, and they take for granted all the material comforts and spiritual care that their parents have created for them!
Guo's mother has prematurely aged due to the hardships of life, and it is inevitable that there will be no holidays in real history; But her hard work and sacrifice only cultivated a son who was greedy for flowers and wine! And Guo Jia eventually died young.
——————————
After taking Guo's mother to the spacious Guo Mansion in Tianma City, Ye Teng arranged 2 long-term followers and 4 maids for Guo's house, because he was worried that Guo Jia's rich money would be exchanged for wine money, Ye Teng specially explained to the city lord's mansion steward, and the wages of Guo's 6 servants were paid by the city lord's mansion, and Guo's mother was given a sum of money every month to maintain Guo's daily life.
But Ye Teng's kindness was stubbornly resigned by Guo's mother!
Maybe I don't feel that I have to be so extravagant, but I am more afraid that because of myself, my son will owe Ye Teng a favor and indirectly increase the burden on my son.
Looking at Guo Jia, who was sitting in the living room yawning, this spoiled genius, and Guo's mother, who was stubborn and spoiled in Jing Hai cloth skirt, Ye Teng's face sank, and he said in a low tone:
"Aunt, Fengxiao, in this situation, I have a word, don't vomit and be unhappy!
Yan Hui has thirty gray hairs and ends up at forty.
My aunt is less than forty years old, but she is already half of her hair, I am afraid that after Uncle Guo's death, years of fatigue and rough diet have destroyed your body!
If we don't recuperate and improve our diet from now on, how can we live longer?
But after all, you are a widowed mother who grew up with hard work and hardship, and if something unbearable happens, I believe that the guilt in Fengxiao's heart will become his eternal heart disease!
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the child wants to raise but does not wait, would rather not be a regret in the world?
Feng Xiao's body has always been weak, but he has been drinking well for many years, if you add heart disease, the future situation can be imagined.
Besides, the aunt didn't have to worry about what Teng did at all, which made Feng Xiao feel guilty and made him even harder. The worry of filial piety is not the fatigue of work, but the injury of alcohol and the deep life!
If you want to solve this worry, not only filial piety must cultivate self-cultivation, but also rely on the health and longevity of Aunt Guo, and the strict discipline of filial piety!
Feng Xiao's talent, I know that Teng doesn't need his diligence, as long as he occasionally makes suggestions.
Words sincerely, there are many inappropriate, please forgive me! ”
After Ye Teng finished speaking, he bowed deeply to them, slowly hindered his legs, and turned to leave.
——————————
After Ye Teng left, Guo's mother looked at Guo Jia with red eyes, Guo Jia turned her head and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded to her mother, and said, "The child is not filial, let the mother worry!" ”
"My son is smart and studious, and my mother is proud of you!" Guo's mother looked at Guo Jia lovingly.
"The lord's kindness, the mother still accepts it, the child has always been careless, and the family still needs the mother to take care of it." Guo Jia shook his head.
"Jia'er, my mother's greatest wish is to hope that you will drink less, marry a wife as soon as possible, and start a branch for the Guo Mansion as soon as possible." Guo Mu said.
"Mother, I'll try to drink as little as possible." Guo Jia said as he walked out.
"This child, so old, is still ......the same as when he was a child" Guo's mother looked at Guo Jia's back, shook her head, and began to explain the work of Guo's entourage.
——————————
Not long after Ye Teng returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Guo Jia followed him again.
"Fengxiao, why don't you spend more time with your aunt?" Ye Teng said curiously.
"Lord, what you said about my mother began to ask me to marry a wife earlier and drink less, and my mother didn't care about this before, so I went to you to hide first." Guo Jia complained in a low voice.
"Feng Xiaoshu reads poetry and books, can you know that filial piety has three meanings?" Ye Teng decided to strike while the iron was hot, and strive to get rid of some of Guo Jia's bad habits.
"Oh, Jia prefers war books and battle strategies, I really haven't heard of this." Guo Jia leaned forward slightly.
"The first layer is filial piety, that is, support, raising children to prevent old age, which is well known in the world;
The second layer is shun, that is, if it is not a matter of principle, we should try to follow the will of our parents, and we should always have a beautiful face on our face;
The third layer is to have pride, that is, children do things that make parents proud, not the other way around, which makes people poke their backbones.
In my opinion, Fengxiao is talented, and in the three-layer meaning of filial piety, the third layer must do the best, the first layer is average, and the second layer is the worst.
Too much wine will definitely hurt the body, marrying a wife to comfort the mother's hope, and opening up the branches and leaves for the Guo family, why not follow the aunt's wishes? Ye Teng looked at Guo Jia with a smile.
"Taught!" Guo Jia gave a deep salute, and then changed his words: "When is the lord going to visit the Zhen family?" ”
"Huh? What's wrong? "I don't know how Guo Jia brought up this stubble?
"The lord has no money to spare, Yanmen County is even more businessmen, and the Zhen family is rich, why not take Zhen Yao to visit the Zhen family? The lord is too respectful, and he also has the territory of two counties, so do you know that this trip is not an opportunity for the Zhen family? This is a win-win situation, why not do it as soon as possible? Guo Jia persuaded.
"If it's not for Feng Xiao's reminder, it's almost a mistake!" In fact, when Zhen Yao first came, Ye Teng had this thought, but Zhen Yao had just come at that time, which was a little abrupt; Later, there were so many trivial things that I couldn't remember.
——————————
Since Zhen Yao defected to Ye Teng, he was first appointed as the county commander, and then as the county merchant Cao Peng, with outstanding ability and good reputation. Especially after serving as Shang Cao Peng, he used his talents and connections from a merchant family to make the world of Yanmen County prosper a lot.
But it was precisely because of his background in the merchant family that sometimes he was restrained, worried that Ye Teng and the rest of the robes would suspect him of abusing power for personal gain.
Especially in the introduction of Zhenjia Commercial Bank, it has been hesitant and delayed so far.
"What is Ji Ming's difficulty?" When Ye Teng entered the door, he waved his hand to signal that the guards didn't need to report, and when he saw Zhen Yao frowning, he couldn't help asking.
"Ah, my lord? The Lord is coming, and he is too late to greet him, so please forgive me! Zhen Yao hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Don't be polite, if Ji Ming has something difficult, why don't you say it and listen to it, maybe I can solve it." Ye Teng waved his hand and said with a smile.
"I don't know if the lord can allow the Zhen family to enter Yanmen or even Tianma City to do business?" Zhen Yao said.
"Naturally, you are welcome, what, Ji Ming is worried that I suspect you of harming the public because of your personal interests? There is no need to be like this at all, there is a way that the body is not afraid of shadows, as long as it is conducive to the development of my Tianma City's forces, Ji Ming can be bold! Ye Tenglang said.
"Yesterday, I received a letter from my mother that she wanted to open up a trade route in Yanmen County." Zhen Yao pointed to the letter on the case.
"It's a good thing, if it's convenient for the Zhen family, I'm willing to go to Wuji County, Zhongshan Province to discuss cooperation with Lingtang, how about it?" Ye Teng groaned for a moment and said.
"Really? If the lord is willing to come, the Zhen family will definitely be waiting for him! Zhen Yao was overjoyed.
"Okay, then let's leave early tomorrow morning." Ye Teng said decisively.
