Chapter 52: True Self-Esteem
More than ten years ago, Xiao Fangping was still called Fang Yifei, a rich boy, with a fair appearance and a shy personality, and he went to the most expensive private school in the small town of Jiyu Country, speaking fluently in the official accent of the country.
At that time, the Jiyu Kingdom, which started from the grassland and formed a unique nomadic culture, gradually appeared to worship Zhou and bypass the Confucian culture, but all those who had a little money would send their children to learn the official dialect of Zhou Huanguo. Ji Yu's domestic authorities are even more fond of beauty, calligraphy and painting, silk and garden design around the country.
As an introverted child, Fang Ping has a yearning for the culture of the country around the country beyond that of ordinary children in Ji Yuguo. At that time, although he could not understand the profound connotation of Confucianism, he could gradually feel the breadth and profundity of Confucian culture. As a result, Xiao Fangping or Xiao Yifei put a lot of effort into the surrounding culture. Since then, in this small private school, Xiao Fangping has the title of "Know-it-all around the country". Sometimes, Xiao Fangping can even answer some questions related to the culture that even Mr. Private School can't answer.
However, Xiao Fangping's "one-of-a-kind" time lasted less than nine months, and then he was defeated by the young son of the Whampoa family.
The Huangpu family moved from the imperial city of Jiyu Kingdom ———— the ———— of the city of the day. The family came very high-profile, not only bought a number of shops in the most prosperous area, but also built their own residence in the best feng shui place in the city. That's just showing off his wealth naked~naked~. This Whampoa family has a young son who came to Fang Ping's private school. With this young master of Whampoa, there are three other sons. The two are side branches of the important ministers of the court, and the father of one is a military general with a low official position but some real power. The third day after the four of them entered the school was the monthly "cultural contest" in the private school. Although the Huangpu prince is a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, he has a very strong competitive spirit, and he has to fight for the first place; Although he had no ink on his chest, the sons of the two side branches did have some ink. In order to be competitive, with the help of the two sons of the side branches, the little son of the Huangpu family naturally won the first place.
It wasn't a big deal, but Fang Ping's nightmare had just begun. Since the "victory" of Fang Ping, the prince of Huangpu will be ridiculed whenever he sees Fang Ping. And this ridicule gradually changed from one person to a few people, and even nearly all the students of the entire private school. What's even worse is that this ridicule slowly turned into a blatant insult. Fang Ping's father had found a teacher from a private school at this time, but in the end there was no result. At that time, for Xiao Fangping, going to private school was the most terrible thing every day.
After class one day, the prince of Whampoa brought a few people to block Fang Ping in the back alley of the private school. This time, the prince of Whampoa was no longer satisfied with the victory in words, and couldn't help but say, and when he came up, he asked the other party to punch and kick. Fang Ping was already weak, and he had always been an obedient child, so he didn't know how to bully himself, and he only saw that he was beaten by those boys. At the critical moment, a little boy who was not too tall but very sturdy blocked in front of Fang Ping and caught the fist of a person on the opposite side.
This kid who suddenly appeared disrupted the position of the Huangpu son.
"You, you, how dare you?"
"Huangpu Li can stop the word, you have always heard it. It's okay to be addicted to it. The power of their Fang family's descendants in the court is far stronger than your Huangpu family, if you really make a trouble, your grandfather will not necessarily protect you. Don't forget why your family came here from Sunrise City. If the behavior of your hooligans and ruffians reaches the ears of some ministers, your father's road to recovery will probably be more bumpy. I advise you to think clearly before doing things! ”
Fang Ping, who was hiding behind and trembling a little, didn't recognize who the person in front of him was at all, and only saw the broom star birthmark behind the person's ear.
"You kid, okay~ It's a good thing to hurt me, there's a kind! But just wait to be taught a lesson from your father! Your father's promotion is in my grandfather's hands. Hmph, I'll wait for you to be beaten and bruised and swollen and call me grandpa! Brothers, let's go! ”
Huangpu Gongzi disappeared very quickly with his group of "dog legs".
Seeing this, Fang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to express his gratitude, but the person in front of him took the lead in asking: "I know that I don't have the strength to compete with it, why don't you give in?" If you can give in early and be a little follower like them, you won't have to suffer these sins. ”
Hearing what the other party said, Fang Ping frowned, "Why should I be soft!" The unrighteous person is obviously Huangpu Li, and I am not wrong, why should I be soft! Why succumb to Whampoa Li! A gentleman has something to do and something not to do. What Childe said is not what a gentleman does! ”
"Is self-esteem that important?"
"Huh?" Fang Ping was stunned by the sudden jump in content.
"That's a nice thing to say, but you and I both know that the real reason why you refuse to give in is just your pride! Do you know what true self-esteem is, though? True self-esteem is one that will not be hurt by the bad words of others, no matter what. True self-esteem is used to protect one's inner peace, not to show it to others. Your current self-esteem is just for show. ”
After saying this, the visitor walked away, leaving Fang Ping to sit in place. On that day, Xiao Fangping, who had figured out the key, came home very late, thinking that he would go to the private school tomorrow to find this benefactor who had a broom star birthmark, and formally express his gratitude. Unexpectedly, after one night, Xiao Fangping never had the opportunity to go to a private school again, and naturally he couldn't tell Xiao Fangping's benefactor if he thanked him.
-------------------------------------------------- Dividing Line----------------------------------------------------
Although Fang Ping did not take the initiative to look for his benefactor, he never forgot the on-demand broadcast of this benefactor. Unexpectedly, people who are destined to meet each other will finally be able to meet, and today he saw the birthmark of the broom star behind Shen Yanyu. With such a special birthmark, you will naturally not be mistaken. Looking back carefully, the Jiangmen who came with Huangpu Li did not bully himself later. Thinking about it this way, Shen Yanyu should be the benefactor of the year more and more. At a young age, Shen Yanyu had a unique insight that was different from ordinary people, but Fang Ping didn't believe that Shen Yanyu had become a mediocre person when he grew up. Therefore, under the temptation of Mingyue, Fang Ping decided to befriend Shen Yanyu.
Since you want to make friends, it is naturally best to be attentive. Seeing the surprise in Mingyue's eyes and a trace of distress in Shen Yanyu's eyebrows, Fang Ping put down the calculation in his heart, picked up the wine glass and said to Shen Yanyu: "True self-esteem is not to be hurt by other people's bad words no matter what, and it is used to protect your own inner peace. From this point of view, Childe has proved his original insight! ”
"How do you know?" This time Shen Yanyu was surprised.
"Shen Gongzi, fly below. Although it was much later, I still want to say thank you to my son, and thank you for your help back then. ”
"Fang Yifei, Fang Yifei, oh, it turned out to be you, no wonder!" Shen Yanyu thought for a while, and finally remembered Fang Yifei, the number one person.
"Brother Shen really has a good memory, I think back then, Brother Shen was the number one, but because he didn't want to steal the limelight from Huangpu Li, he gave in everywhere. I don't know why Brother Shen is holding back now? "After all, it's not a child, so Fang Ping, who should be tempted, still has to try to tempt.
"Hey, I'm already Jiang Lang's talent, what kind of concession is that. Brother Fang really thinks highly of me. Shen Yanyu and Fang Ping started haha.
Mingyue, who had never spoken, suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, she raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "What Brother Shen said was too modest. I'm afraid that the gang of human traffickers encountered outside Xingye Village are not a chance encounter for Brother Shen, right? ”
