Chapter 39: Ideals
"Daddy, I understand, I won't be so stupid in the future."
Zhu Youning buried his face in his father's shoulder socket, and couldn't help but say what he thought in his heart, "I can't imagine that they will be so vicious, what kind of grudge do we have that deserves their death to me." ”
Zhu Huating patted his little daughter's back with pity, but his eyes gradually became cold.
"This is the failure of the Zhu family."
"Daddy?" Zhu Youning stood up straight and looked at the man squatting in front of him suspiciously.
Zhu Huating said softly: "This is the failure of the Zhu family's education, the Zhu family has been inherited for a hundred years, and they claim to be a prestigious family, but they have forgotten the most fundamental morality and human nature of human existence in the world.
"The rule of merit-based inheritance handed down by our ancestors has been exaggerated and demonized from generation to generation, and finally turned into a method of raising Gu. In such a competitive environment, what normal people can be cultivated? ”
How to raise Gu?
Zhu Youning thought about it carefully and felt that his father's summary was extremely correct.
"Fu Ya'er, you remember, you are a person first, and your surname is Zhu second. The inheritance of the Zhu family is important, but being a human being cannot be without humanity, let alone without morality.
"Dad knows that you have an industry now, and there are things you must do, but you have to remember that no matter how fierce the competition is in the future, you must not forget the most basic morality of being a person, you can't learn from those harmful children in the fourth room to despise human life."
"I remember, Daddy."
Zhu Youning felt that his father was really great and powerful at this moment. It is really not an easy task to have an upright character in a distorted environment like the Zhu family.
"But Daddy, I won't be stupid anymore, I won't take the initiative to harm others, but if anyone wants to trample on my dignity, hurt my family, or murder my life, no matter who the other party is, I will pay it back tenfold!"
Zhu Huating was silent for a long time when he heard this, nodded and sighed: "Okay." Daddy wants to learn from you. ”
"Then if I teach the sixth sister a lesson, won't my father stop me?"
Zhu Huating was silent again, and only sighed for a long time before he said, "Your sixth sister's character has been damaged. This is Dad's negligence, your mother was not in good health at the time, and Dad saw that Aunt Jiang was not too much, so he handed over your sixth sister to her to bring.
"But Aunt Jiang taught your sixth sister to be like that. Now that she has gone to the fourth room and become someone else's daughter, although I am her biological father, she may no longer recognize me in her heart. ”
Zhu Youning's sadness and struggle Zhu Youning understood, and she said empathetically: "If outsiders harm me, I won't care so much." But the sixth sister is also her father's daughter after all. Don't worry, I won't hurt the life of the sixth sister at will. ”
"Hmm. Good boy. Zhu Huating sighed again, "Fu Ya'er, you remember that the current situation is caused by the distorted family style of the Zhu family. If it is possible, Dad really wants to completely destroy the ghost family motto, even if the Zhu family is just an ordinary family, Dad also hopes that the Zhu family can have normal humanity, instead of bearing the name of a century-old family, but the people in the family are becoming less and less human. ”
Zhu Youning: This is the first time I've heard Zhu Huating talk about this.
She originally thought that what her father wanted to do should be revenge, or get back on her feet and take back everything that should have belonged to her.
At least that's what she thought.
Unexpectedly, my father's idea was to destroy the family motto and completely change the Zhu family from the root!
Zhu Youning couldn't help but be in awe of his father.
Perhaps, the most correct thing that Mrs. Zhu has done in her life is to choose to train Zhu Huating to take the imperial examination.
"Daddy, I'll try to help you."
Zhu Youning doesn't think she has the ability to subvert everything, but she has the confidence to open up everything.
She has one more life, it doesn't mean that she wants to look at people's faces and linger, right?
She has always been this kind of character, if she can't live to the fullest, she would rather not live!
Zhu Huating hugged his little daughter movingly, but tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and his prickly nose was sour, so he could only close his eyes tightly.
Because of the same thing, his eldest son, who died young, also said it, and Zhu Yanqing was about the age of Zhu Youning at that time.
Thinking of that child, the fire in Zhu Huating's heart burned even hotter, and he hated to burn everything.
Li Tuobei wanted to come out to call people after washing and tidying up, but when he pushed the door and saw the father and daughter quietly embracing each other in the night, he couldn't bear to disturb him.
Although the father and daughter are less materially scarce than the commoners, they have a real affection for each other, which many people in fine clothes and luxurious children cannot ask for in their lifetime.
Just like him......
Li Tuobei looked at it enviously for a long time, and it wasn't until Zhu Huating stood up and looked back that he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu, I should go back." ”
"I'll send you back."
"No need. It's so close to the family's mansion that I'll go back myself. ”
"I'll send you anyway. Fu Ya'er, you go back to wash first. Don't run out, do you hear that? ”
"Yes, Daddy." Zhu Youning responded, and then saluted Li Tuobei: "Thank you Brother Bei today." ”
Li Tuobei waved his hand and smiled: "No need to thank you, you call me brother, it's my sister-in-law, isn't it a shame to always say thank you." Come on, I'm leaving. ”
Zhu Huating carried the lamp and insisted on sending Li Tuobei back to his home.
Zhu Youning went to wash it with water again, changed his clothes, and soaked his dirty clothes in the bath water.
When Zhu Huating came back, Zhu Youning was washing clothes, and when he saw that her hair was still dripping with water, he urged her to wipe her hair, and he squatted next to the big basin to wash and dry his daughter's clothes.
After the house was cleaned up, the father and daughter went to sleep.
And the subordinates sent by Sifang to the back mountain to save people have already returned to the fourth wife's house at this time.
"What? There's no one in that hole? The fourth lady's eyes widened in astonishment, "Have you gone down to look for it?" ”
Aunt Han on the side clenched her skirt expressionlessly.
The mother-in-law who was looking for the person said: "Although the hole is deep, but the hole is also wide, the slaves and maids lie on it and look carefully, there is indeed no one underneath, I think someone has rescued them first." ”
Aunt Han's hand was slightly loose.
The fourth lady pursed her lips and said, "It's not easy to do now, if our people rescue them, they can sell them well." As long as you tell them that the child who made the mistake has been punished, give them some favor and put the matter down. But they were saved by others. What if they were talking nonsense outside? ”
"Isn't it? Hey, it's not that the slave is too talkative, the girl from the big house is too capable of making trouble, encouraging our maid to do such things. Others don't know, where don't slaves and maids know? Miss Mi is not the kind of person who is ruthless at all. ”
"Hmph. If she is a good person, why don't you take her out when Bai leaves. You go and bring Zhu You'an to me, I will teach her well, so that she can call me mother now, how can I not teach her. ”
"Yes." Immediately a subordinate was ordered to go.
The fourth lady instructed again: "Tomorrow, I will go carefully to the long room and quietly probe, and come back to tell me if there is any movement." ”
"Yes, don't worry, ma'am."
