Chapter 82 The old man's wisdom
Li Yu was reprimanded by his master and had to go back to redo the embroidery, a little unhappy.
Old man Wang saw her sitting alone in the gazebo with his head drooping, so he went to have a look at her.
"Grandfather."
Seeing the old man coming, Li Yu quickly stood up and helped him sit down.
"Why are you sitting here alone and not playing with your friends?"
"Didn't go, rest for a while."
"You have changed, you don't tell your little secrets to your grandfather anymore."
Master Wang nodded her with his hand.
The child came back this time, changed a lot, became deep and stable, with sadness in his eyes, comprehensive, careful and serious, practicing martial arts and reading like crazy, as if there is no tomorrow today, and the sense of urgency and urgency will even affect the surrounding people.
Even that lazy girl Ru'er said that she would be exhausted if she was with Sister Yu'er, and she would feel guilty if she was slack.
She pushed herself so hard that the strings were about to snap.
"No, I just don't like embroidery."
"If I don't like it, I believe it. It's true that I can't calm down to think about it. It's true that embroidery is useless and not as practical as swords, guns, swords and halberds."
Old man Wang sat on the stone bench, looked at his granddaughter's little face, and smiled clearly.
Li Yu lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, "Isn't it true that everyone's path is different."
"Do you think you can replace your father in command of the army because you are highly skilled in martial arts?"
Li Yu immediately shook his head, "I don't have that idea, I just..."
"You just want to go outside to show off your strengths, accumulate military achievements and connections, and one day be able to avenge them. The outside world is wider and freer. You have seen the sky and clouds, and now you don't like embroidery."
Old Master Wang's face gradually became serious.
Li Yu quickly waved his hand, "No, that's not the case... I really don't like embroidery. I think everyone has their own good side, so you can use your strengths to avoid weaknesses. Why do you have to study what you are not good at."
Grandpa Wang's expression eased, this is the thought of a smart boy.
"Do you know why some stupid children are so popular with their masters?"
Master Wang smiled, waved to her, and let the child sit beside her.
Li Yu poured his grandfather a cup of tea before sitting down.
She tilted her head and thought for a while before saying: "Because of persistence and perseverance, my grandfather said that I am short-tempered and impatient, and I won't last long."
She knows where her shortcomings lie.
“Not everything can maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses. Shortness is short, and no matter how you avoid it, it will not become longer.”
Li Yu lowered his head in thought, then raised his head to look at the old man, "Is it my fault?"
Is learning embroidery really that important?
"Learning embroidery is not important, and your family can't afford to hire a sewing room, but why do mothers press their daughters to learn embroidery? It's to let them grind their temper. Don't do things according to imagination, learn to think twice before acting. Perfunctory and serious It's two different things."
Old Master Wang took a sip from the cup of tea, with a relaxed tone.
"Okay then, I'll go back and study hard."
Li Yu thinks what his grandfather said makes sense, and he is indeed a little impatient, so he has the right to hone his will.
"I don't know what suffering you have experienced, but I can feel that you are impatient. I don't persuade you, but just want to remind you that in your current state, even if your enemies stand in front of you, you can't kill them."
Li Yu lowered her head and pursed her lips, with a stubborn face but did not refute. She knew what her grandfather said was right, but she was not reconciled.
Li Yu lowered his head and said nothing, his back was straight, his body was tense, aloof and stubborn.
Grandpa Wang sighed, "I can understand your pain. When I was young, I encountered wars and lost a brother. That kind of heart-wrenching and powerless blow can knock people down."
"Son, I don't need to teach you the truth of the difference between a small difference and a thousand miles. I have also learned riding, shooting, boxing and kicking skills, and your character will be let down first. Look at your father, doesn't he hurt? That's him. A brother who grew up together, but he is still as stable as Mount Tai."
"As a family member, as a general, any mistake will lead to countless deaths and injuries, and the lives and hopes of countless people are also implicated behind him. Can you afford these, can you do it?"
"Revenge, what do you rely on? Just rely on your current ability. You know how close you are. You are not as stable as your elder brother. The military general learns that the last thing to hone is the heart, the iron-blooded will, Indestructible perseverance, do you have it?"
Every word of Mr. Wang is deafening.
Li Yu stood up and bowed his head to listen to the training without saying a word.
"Since you have such talent and ability, you should polish yourself meticulously. Your father even mended clothes for soldiers. Why do you look down on embroidery?"
"I was wrong."
"You are a good learner of organ manufacturing, and you should know that you almost can't do it perfectly."
"Yes, I see."
Li Yu convinced himself, his body slowly relaxed, and a string in his heart seemed to be touched.
"Hey, it's always right to learn more skills. If you have time, go to the Library Pavilion to have a look. Don't you want to get some manuscripts for the Li family to go back to your collection? Don't choose carefully."
Old Master Wang's conversation was moderately tight, lenient and kind, which convinced Li Yu.
"Um."
Li Yu raised his head and smiled at the old man.
"Silly boy, I watched Yue'er's girl change her face and become more diligent and sensible. Don't forget to take her with you when you play with your friends. After the filial piety period, let your grandmother find a good family for her to marry her. There is a future."
"Okay. Thank you, grandfather. By the way, did you discuss the mine?"
"It was discussed. In order to keep your father, the Night King agreed that the mine should be owned by the Li family. However, to build weapons for the Night King, a certain amount of weapons must be handed over every year. He will not interfere in other matters."
"It's so good, can the three of us eat it?"
"A link is missing."
Grandfather Wang is trying to test his granddaughter.
Li Yu blinked, pondering in his mind, "Transportation."
"That's right, the Xie family in Chen Jun controls the Cao Gang and the waterway, and there are also many ways and manpower on the land route."
"Oh, that's what happened."
Li Yu suddenly nodded.
"We are discussing. These days your father and brother are busy with this matter. There will be a flower banquet in a few days, and it will also check your homework. By the way, Xie's Yang family and several other wives are coming. You should prepare."
"The Xie family is also here, but they want to get married, have you taken a fancy to your sister?"
What Li Yu thinks is that Wang Hui is old, and it is common for aristocrats to marry.
Grandpa Wang waved his hand and smiled mysteriously, "I've taken a fancy to you brothers and sisters."
"I?"
Li Yu blinked.
"It might be your brother, too."
Old man Wang is inclined to marry Li Rui. It is not bad to marry a girl, but he is very reluctant to marry his granddaughter.
"The Xie family has taken a fancy to my organization."
"That's what it means."
