Xie Jian looked at him doubtfully, not understanding what Lord Lu wanted to say to him.
Lu Ji'an smiled, gazing at the peaceful and prosperous scene beneath his feet. "How fortunate we are to be born in this great forest, and to have lived in peace and prosperity for a hundred years. All of this is the result of the accumulation of generations of our incredibly intelligent and brave ancestors. For hundreds of years, they took hoes and axes, splitting mountains to build roads, digging rivers and canals, allowing the people to live a peaceful and prosperous life."
"Lord Lu, they are truly amazing." Shen Heng said sincerely, these were also her ancestors.
Xie Jian said nothing, his dark eyes coldly watching the bustle below. What did it have to do with him? His family had never lived a peaceful life.
Lu Ji'an glanced at Chen Heng and nodded: "As a student, you should inherit the will of your ancestors, protect this land, and safeguard the safety of the people."
Shen Heng understood why Lord Lu called Xie Jian here.
"Lord Lu, since others have never protected me, how can they deserve my protection?" Xie Jian sneered. He could not repay evil with kindness.
"Xie Jian, you've encountered the injustices of the world, and it's inevitable that you feel resentment. But precisely because you've experienced these things, you understand more clearly the suffering and difficulties faced by ordinary people. There are so many injustices and unfairnesses in this world, some of which we cannot see, but some of which we can. We can do nothing about those we cannot see, but we cannot stand idly by when we can see them. We study not only to change our own destinies, but also to dispel the darkness in this world."
Xie Jian pursed his lips and said nothing.
These are all great truths that Chen Heng often heard in her previous life. Some people said them as pure chicken soup, while some people said them and really did it, like the Lord Lu in front of her.
"No matter when you encounter difficulties, no matter how much you are bullied, never lose your integrity. This is what it means to be a true man. A true man studies for himself, for the people, and for the peace of the world."
Xie Jian had an indifferent look on his face, but he saw the woman next to him was listening attentively to what Lu Ji'an said. Didn't she like to hear this?
"Xie Jian, I hope you can remember what I said today." Lu Ji'an knew that the young man would not listen to just a few words, so he had to at least make him understand these principles.
"Yes, Lord Lu." Xie Jian lowered his eyes and responded.
"Let's go. The carriage is just outside the city. I'll take you to the academy."
"Thank you, Lord Lu." Xie Jian bowed.
Shen Heng also bowed happily.
Lu Ji'an glanced at Shen Heng. Xie Jian's wife was a good person. He had asked the yamen runner to call Shen along so she could listen and advise Xie Jian more in the future: a virtuous wife will establish a successful husband.
However, what surprised him was that Shen seemed to understand everything he said, unlike an ordinary woman.
The carriage rushed all the way towards the academy.
It was a full incense stick of time earlier than the last service vehicle.
When they arrived at Nanming College, three students were already waiting there. They bowed to Lu Ji'an when they saw him.
"Master."
Lu Ji'an nodded and said, "Take Xie Jian to the Discipline Hall."
"yes."
At this moment, Chen Heng took out a small green porcelain bottle from her bosom and handed it to Xie Jian, saying softly, "Here you go."
"What is this?" Xie Jian took a few looks.
"The doctor said that this ointment is good for wounds, especially whip wounds." Knowing that Xie Jian still had to receive whipping today, she bought it early in the morning.
Look, how nice she is to him, he should appreciate it.
Xie Jian hummed lightly: "Please help your sister-in-law with the burdens at home. I will come every ten days."
"good."
