Of course, Gu En wouldn't say it in a complaining tone. His words were full of pride. He wanted to make Old Master Qian envious and learn from him. Maybe in the future, the Qian family's children would also suffer the inhuman treatment they received.
Gu En absolutely refused to admit that he did it on purpose. He only believed that he was doing a good deed, making the descendants of the Qian family better and better. Yes, that must be it.
Gu En then talked about how, when she was a child, the children in her family were all raised freely. Then one day, her second uncle was being chased by debt collectors, and her second aunt and second sister started to fight back. Suddenly, things got better for the whole family.
From then on, my second uncle started studying, not only studying himself but also teaching the children.
My second uncle said that one needs a good physique to continue studying, so the children were woken up before dawn to start practicing horse stance.
Fortunately, their children are all smart and quick learners, so they learned everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Even now, only Sisi and Renren are left at home. They also have to get up before dawn to practice. If they miss a day of practice, their second uncle's punishment is quite severe.
Gu En said proudly, "Our children are all very self-disciplined! They finally made it to the capital, so of course they have to keep improving themselves and can't slack off at all."
Lu Zheng and Gu Xin were speechless. Was that really the case?
Everyone's used to it, okay?
My father (second uncle) is currently a powerful figure in the officialdom, so he doesn't have time to care whether you get up in the morning or not.
And you, Eun-ja, do you really think nobody knows that you ran off to study abroad because you didn't want to get up early to practice?
If you continue like this, you, as the eldest grandson, will truly be the worst among all your siblings.
Of course, Gu Xin and Lu Zheng wouldn't expose him.
The fact that the Gu family was able to reach the capital city was not only due to their own efforts, but also related to Grandpa Gu's background.
To be honest, even if their whole family were idle and pleasure-seeking, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would still indulge and support them.
However, this isn't how they are family-oriented.
After hearing this, Mr. Qian felt that the Gu family's family discipline was truly strict!
That's not quite right. During the period when the second son of the Gu family was depressed, it was not clear in the family that anyone would pursue a career in government. When the family was preparing to become farmers, they let the children grow up freely, but they did not lead the children astray!
When the second son of the Gu family rallied and his career prospects became promising, the family began to become stricter with him.
Mr. Qian felt he understood Gu Jia's thinking a little better: one should live the life appropriate to one's social status. Yes, that should be it.
When you're a farmer, all you need to do is learn to farm, learn how to make a living, and if you're a decent person, you can live a happy and carefree life.
When you're born into an official family, you have to learn everything, aiming for the highest standards and bringing glory to your ancestors.
Mr. Qian couldn't help but want to meet Grandpa Gu immediately. He really wanted to know what kind of person this calm peer was. He couldn't learn to be like him, but he wanted to know him.
He felt that he definitely had a lot to learn from Grandpa Gu.
Even if he doesn't have many years left to live comfortably, he should learn as much as he can and pass it on to his son. This will benefit future generations!
Mr. Qian felt more and more strongly that he absolutely had to return to Beijing with Gu Xin and the others this time.
