Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 448
Gu Liang looked at this little granddaughter who had been held in his palm since he was a child, and thought of her cute and cute appearance when she was young, only full of love overflowed in his heart; but, after knowing so many things, he It would be a lie to say that the state of mind is the same as before. In this world, nothing remains the same, and naturally there is no one who remains the same.

Gu Liang looked at those clear and clean eyes, sighed softly, and said what he said from the bottom of his heart: "When Wenwen fell into the water for the first time and had an accident, I knew that there was a lot to be said for it. Jiao, do you know why grandfather didn't stand up and stop the whole thing from happening at that time, but continued to choose to watch quietly?"

Gu Yanxi shook his head, and said, "Grandfather's thoughts can't be figured out delicately, so I ask Grandfather to express it clearly."

Looking at the clever little granddaughter in his arms, Gu Liang lovingly stroked her head and said, "It's not that you can't guess, you dare not guess in that direction. Jiaojiao, grandfather's body, grandfather knows, such a body The body that has been hollowed out, even if it is carefully raised, there is not much time left; yesterday when I had a long talk with your father, I talked a lot, today you and I, grandpa and grandson, also have a good talk , explain some things clearly."

Gu Yanxi knew that what his grandfather said next would have various weights, so he naturally didn't dare to play the little girl's arrogant temper, but sat on the edge of the bed obediently, wiped off the tears on his face, looked at his grandfather seriously, and listened He went on.

"Not only in the capital, but even in the entire Daliang, many people know that your grandfather and I are really born in white clothes. Back then, we were just a sour scholar. Only when the emperor opened Enke High School's top three, did we have the opportunity to get close to power; Over the years, I have come to where I am today step by step, relying not only on talent, but also on luck and opportunity. Talent is based on practical knowledge, but luck and opportunity can only be achieved by yourself Hit, break through, and fight for yourself. Jiaojiao, tell me, if you compare it this way, do you think it is easier to learn something like talent? Or is it easier to get something like luck?"

Gu Yanxi lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and said, "Naturally, talents are easier to learn."

Gu Liang smiled, and asked again: "Oh? Tell me your reason?"

Gu Yanxi sat upright, straightened his back, and replied with a serious face: "Talent refers to practical learning. We can learn these things from books, or we can invite a powerful master to teach them, or we can listen to them for advice." Learn from those who have experience around you; as long as you are humble and educated, and don’t be ashamed to ask, no matter where you learn from, you will eventually learn what you want to learn. But luck and opportunity are different, luck This kind of thing can't be learned from books, and opportunities can't be learned from the master; just as my grandfather said, if you want to get these two things, you have to work hard to get them, and often the hard work of fighting The process is accompanied by danger, if you are not careful, you may fall to pieces."

Gu Liang listened to Gu Yanxi's answer with satisfaction. For the first time, he discovered that this little granddaughter who had been pampered by him since she was a child could be such a transparent person. No wonder even the eldest son said that this child has big ideas now. Before she knew it, she had grown up slowly, to the point where even relatives like them would look up to her with admiration.

"Jiaojiao, you are right. Compared with talent, luck and opportunity are more difficult to achieve, but you must know that once you achieve this extremely difficult thing, you will get the most unexpected results. This That's one of the reasons why I didn't make a sound after Wenwen fell into the water."

"Wenwen's character was badly taught by her mother. Over the years, she has done a lot of arrogant and domineering things in Gu's residence, especially when she treats you, and she has no sisterhood at all. I still vaguely remember When you were six years old, Wenwen deliberately tricked you to the rockery. You were so young that you could not get up and down the rockery, and your voice was almost hoarse when you cried; I came to help you, and even kicked you on purpose in the back. It was a rockery as high as three people. If your cousin hadn't jumped out and used it as a meat pad for you, I'm afraid you would be disabled if you didn't die at this time. .”

Gu Yanxi almost forgot about it, because she was really young at that time, and she didn't remember many things clearly; now that her grandfather mentioned it, she just had a vague impression. Now that I think about it, if it wasn't for my cousin at the time Rushing out to give her a cushion, I'm afraid she is really going to die.As for the cousin who later became her meat pad, he seemed to be lying on the bed for half a month before he could get off the ground. My aunt cried several times because of this incident, and my mother even rushed to Hengguangyuan to make a big fuss. He was blocked by the Jiang family because he was naughty and ignorant as a child.

Thinking about it now, I really find it extremely ridiculous; Gu Yanwen learned to harm people at such a young age, no wonder when she grew up, the methods of harming people became more and more frequent, and the tricks became more and more numerous.

Seeing Gu Yanxi's look of recalling the past, Gu Liang patted the back of her hand and continued: "This incident left a deep impression on me back then, and I knew from that time that this eldest granddaughter She is not a kind person, if she is not persuaded and taught in time, with her personality, she will inevitably cause disaster in the future; so after this incident, I called your second uncle to my side many times and repeatedly told him to discipline himself However, with your second uncle's temperament, he only has his ambitions in his eyes, how can he pretend to be other relatives? To him, Jiang is just a wife in name, and his A daughter is not as valuable as an eldest son."

Gu Yanxi heard the feeling of regret in his grandfather's words, and asked: "Since my grandfather thought about teaching Gu Yanwen's temperament, and knew that the second uncle was unreliable, why didn't you teach Gu Yanwen yourself? At that time, Gu Yanwen might not be as hopeless as she is today."

Gu Liang let out a long breath, and said: "At that time, the court was changing, and the capital was under constant turmoil. Many mansions were ransacked and exterminated for some inexplicable crimes; At that time, I was already exhausted from dealing with the affairs of the court, so I didn't have the energy to take care of the family affairs. So I thought about letting it go, but I didn't expect that after I let it go, it would be hard to take it back."
