Chapter 202: A Kind of Happiness
"No one thought that he did not choose to retreat in his hometown, but chose such a remote place and died depressed."
The Emperor Taishang was extremely sorry, and his tone of voice was very peaceful, but there was a taste of hatred and hatred in it.
"I heard from my grandfather that his grandfather died shortly after he joined the family, and that the relatives in the family were dissatisfied with the lack of help from the ancestors, so they removed them from the family tree and ignored him.
The old ancestor probably felt cold, so he didn't choose to return to his hometown.
For the ancestors, it is not necessarily a good thing to be able to send love to the mountains and rivers in their later years, and to have a good death. Everyone's life cannot be smooth sailing, and after experiencing ups and downs, it is also a kind of happiness to return to the ordinary.
The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, in the eyes of outsiders, his choice may be a coward's behavior, but in Yongfeng's eyes, the ancestor is aware of current affairs. "The Emperor knows all these Xue'er.
Being excluded from the genealogy in ancient times was a big deal, and removing the genealogy meant that you were a rootless person. It is a helpless move for the ancestors not to return to their homeland.
And there is no way to do it, since you don't have the ability to turn the tide, it is a wise choice to protect yourself.
"Yes, no one likes to be a rootless wanderer. This old ancestor of yours is remarkable, because he refused to ask for benefits for the family, so he was ostracized by the people in the family, and finally ruthlessly expelled him.
Many years later, he was a very popular minister, one person was below ten thousand people, and the Dong family found him to re-register the family tree, but he refused. It's a backbone, if it were me, I would choose that way!
You can't turn things around in the court, and protecting yourself is the best choice, and a fool will choose to be a broken jade rather than a tile. "What the Emperor Taishang hates most is this kind of backsliding, and he hates the kind of brainless literati practice the most.
"Everyone is responsible for their own choices, and if the ancestor wants to choose to be a virtuous minister, he must give up something."
"That's right, it can be seen that you are also sober! I heard that Ling Zun is quite talented, but he can't do scientific research because of physical reasons, what kind of disease is it, and if the imperial doctor helps, can he be treated? "Perhaps he admires the ancestor of the Dong family, and he is also quite cordial to his descendant, Xuanyuan Ancestor.
"Thank you Emperor Taishang for thinking about my father. My father's body was weakened because of premature birth, and after birth, my grandmother was skilled in medicine and took care of him to grow up and crown.
Although he is tall and big, he may have a thin foundation and can't stand the fatigue, even if he stays up late, it will take three or two days to recover, so Yongfeng guesses that even the imperial doctor may not be able to cure his father's weakness! Xue'er explained very clearly, she didn't want the emperor to blame her father for not coming to the saint.
"I see, it's a pity!" The Emperor Taishang said regretfully.
"I heard that Yongfeng has two younger brothers? They look as lovely as you! Empress Taishang asked curiously.
Cher's appearance is really hard to find, and she is curious about what kind of parents can raise such a good-looking little lady.
"Yes, the two younger brothers are also very good-looking, the eldest brother Dong Chengze is similar to Yongfeng Xiao, and the second brother Dong Chengqing combines the looks of his parents, and he is also very cute." Xue'er bowed her head, and when she mentioned her brother, her eyes were full of pride and doting.
"Then the "Three Character Classic" and the counting books were compiled by Yongfeng and used for the enlightenment of Ling Di?" Emperor Xuanyuan personally came to the Emperor Taishang last night, discussed things with him, and personally showed him the counting book that Xue'er had offered.
"Yongfeng just summed up the wisdom of his predecessors, in order to teach his younger brother conveniently, he was opportunistic, which made the emperor laugh!" Xue'er's face was a little hot, she knew better than anyone how this book came about, and now she could only admit it.
"There are not many talented women like Yongfeng in this world, and they all say that women are virtuous if they are not talented, which is the bullshit that men say in order to suppress women.
There are as many men and women in this world, if all women are talentless, how can they educate the next generation? "The Emperor Taishang looks down on those men who look down on women the most, and even the foul words are spoken in front of Xue'er.
Cher couldn't answer these words, so she had to laugh.
"A man who looks down on a woman will eventually be planted in the hands of a woman, and the world-famous empress of the previous dynasty is no worse than any man, what does Yongfeng think?" Xuanyuan Ancestor looked at Xue'er nonchalantly, but the words he said made Xue'er feel pressured.
She thought for a moment and said, "It's not worse than a man, but in Cher's opinion, she also has failures." ”
Xuanyuan Old Ancestor stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "What do you say?" ”
"Behind a successful man, there are always two women who work silently for him, and these two women are very important.
One is the mother who has a deep influence on him, and the other is the wife who can support him.
In Yongfeng's view, a wife is a good wife if she can assist Lang Jun in achieving her career, and a mother is considered a good wife if she can teach excellent children to inherit the family business.
She's only halfway there, and she's still halfway there. And she did it herself, but the consequences were bleak.
While she proved herself, she left an endless legacy for future generations. Cher replied after a moment's deliberation.
Of course, such a statement seems to be only suitable for this era.
Whether it's a man or a woman, who doesn't want to live vigorously in this life? But in the face of the powerful class, Xue'er can only answer like this.
Of course, Xue'er herself may not really think so, when reading the history of the Celestial Empire, Xue'er summarized those great men and found that almost all of them had a great mother behind them, and a good wife who was willing to never abandon them.
This is a fresh idea, but it makes sense. In Yongfeng's view, what is the most important thing for a family to pass on from generation to generation? "Actually, this question is not within the scope of Xuanyuan Ancestor's assessment of Xue'er, it is just a temporary thought.
The main thing is that he didn't expect the girl in front of him to have such a unique idea, and he couldn't help but ask a few more words.
Xue'er knew what the other party was going to ask, but it was difficult for her to ride a tiger, so she had to keep talking.
"The development of a family is similar to the life of a person, with ups and downs. No one can have everything smooth sailing all their lives, and the same is true for a family.
People must first learn the ability to survive with self-discipline and benign guidance. Her words were tactful, but everyone in the room should be able to understand her metaphors.
"It's the rules and the law and a good mother." Xuanyuan Ancestor added.
"After having the ability, we must look at the surrounding living environment, and if we have the environment, we must also look at the opportunity, and if we have the opportunity, we must see whether we can seize it, all of which are indispensable." Although Cher was only a recent college graduate in her previous life, she had a deep understanding of life.
Xuanyuan Ancestor bowed his head in agreement.
