After speaking, Guo Yi led the child to the market.
In the market, an old man was walking on the street carrying an empty pole. After the day's goods were sold out, he sang happily and hummed a tune. Although he was chewing a shriveled bun, his face was filled with a smile.
, also holding a cute toy in his hand, which seemed to be taken back to his grandson.
"Do you think he is rich?" Guo Yi asked.
"He is not rich, but he is very happy." Guo Nian shook his head.
As he said that, Guo Yi pointed to the other side.
A fat middle-aged man in silk satin was bulging with anger and his face was wrinkled. He had just been scolded so badly by the master of the mansion that he almost vomited blood. However, life must go on.
Unless he doesn't want this wealthy life.
I had such a big business, and in order to spread his family's wealth, he had to compromise and make every day depressed and very unhappy.
"Do you think he is rich?" Guo Yixiao asked.
"He... is rich, but he is not happy." Guo Nian said.
"Nian'er, poverty and wealth do not refer to wealth alone!" Guo Yi looked at Guo Nian and said: "Spiritual wealth is the most valuable. Although the old man is poor, he is rich in spirit and positive and optimistic, so
He is richer than the middle-aged man. Although the middle-aged man is rich, he is depressed and controlled by others. This is spiritual poverty."
"Father, what do you mean?" Guo Nian looked at his father.
"We cannot simply use wealth to measure a person's poverty or wealth." Guo Yi said with a smile.
"Father, which is more important, material wealth or spiritual wealth?" Guo Nian asked curiously.
"Of course spiritual wealth is important." Guo Yi crouched down, looked at Guo Nian seriously, and said: "Material things should be limited in moderation. However, the pursuit of the spiritual level is never-ending. In your life
, you don’t have to worry about material things at all. You just need to pursue what you think is the most important thing in life.”
"Yes, father." Guo Nian nodded.
Although Guo Nian didn't understand, Guo Yi's words were like a seed that took root and sprouted in Guo Nian's heart.
Become a beacon in his life, guiding him forward.
Under the setting sun, father and son walked side by side.
The figure is stretched very long.
Ten years have passed by in a flash.
The years have gone through vicissitudes, and the sea has changed.
seem……
The sun and the moon have not changed, but people have declined first.
The old private school teacher who taught and educated people passed away in the eighth year of Guo Nian's schooling. When he left, he held Guo Nian's hand and kept repeating: "A man should aspire to all directions, serve in the military all his life, and serve the country!"
"
After saying that, the old gentleman left with hatred, as if he felt that his miserable life was not worth it.
Guo Nian didn't understand, but he didn't understand either.
However, now that he is over ten years old, he knows how to think about himself and understands that he has to start exploring and planning his life.
Fourteen-year-old Guo Nian is already 1.75 meters tall, handsome, free and refined.
The capital of the Kingdom of Wu.
Third Street.
That beautiful house is filled with all kinds of flowers. In the past ten years, it has been made beautiful by Purple Star. The fox demon is good at planting flowers and grass. The flowers here grow particularly beautiful and beautiful.
.Moreover, the flowers here look particularly charming.
Outside the door, Guo Nian strode into the courtyard.
"Nian'er!" Zi Xing stood up in a hurry.
"Mother!" Guo Nian bowed and asked hurriedly: "Where is your father?"
"He is reading in the room." Zi Xing smiled slightly, with delicate sweat on her forehead. She gently brushed the broken hair on her forehead with her hand, and then walked towards Guo Nian. She wiped the sweat for Guo Nian with a handkerchief and said
: "Look at you kid, you are in such a hurry, have you encountered something big?"
"Oh, I have something to discuss with my father," Guo Nian said hurriedly.
"Then go ahead." Zi Xing nodded.
Guo Nian hurriedly turned around and walked towards the house.
In the house.
Guo Yizheng is sitting in the study reading a book.
Ten years have also left some traces of time on Guo Yi's body. Without the protection of his spiritual power and the nourishment of his Dantian, Guo Yi's body has also aged day by day. Unknowingly, he has already turned 40.
At this time, Guo Yi was in his middle age and mature, and his behavior was relatively mature and steady.
Seeing Guo Nian coming in from outside, Guo Yi put down the book in his hand.
"Father!" Guo Nian bowed his hands.
"Nian'er, what's the matter with you looking for my father?" Guo Yi motioned for him to sit down.
Guo Nian was impatient and said: "Father, I want to take the national examination!"
Ding!
Guo Yi felt a thump in his heart and thought to himself, unexpectedly, this thing still happened.
Guo Yi was not in a hurry and said, "Oh? Tell me, why do you want to take the national examination?"
"No reason, I just want to!" Guo Nian said firmly.
"I roughly summed it up. There are two types of people who take the national examination. One is for money, and the other is for power!" Guo Yi said.
"No!" Guo Nian shook his head and said: "I will never be greedy for money, power or women. I only want to fulfill my teacher's last wish. My teacher told me that a man should aspire to all directions and fight for a lifetime, and should not waste his youth on
marketplace."
Guo Yi fell silent.
Guo Nian has gradually shed his childishness, and his face shows a touch of fortitude. Moreover, at this age, he is in the period of adolescence and rebelliousness.
What Guo Yi needs is patience and step-by-step guidance.
It was the first time that the father and son had this kind of tit-for-tat confrontation.
Da da da!
Guo Yi's fingers tapped lightly on the table.
After a long time, Guo Yi asked: "Are you...really going to take the national examination?"
"Yes!" Guo Nian nodded.
"Okay!" Guo Yi nodded and said, "You can take the national examination if you want. However, you must agree to my request!"
"Father, tell me." Guo Nian said solemnly.
Given my father's temperament, the request he made should not be simple.
"If you succeed in the national examination, you cannot become an official." Guo Yi said.
"Since you are taking the national examination, you must become an official. If you are not an official, how can you participate in state affairs? If you do not participate in state affairs, how can you make the state of Wu strong?" Guo Nian shook his head repeatedly and said: "Father, my friends'
My father hopes that they can take the national examination, and hope that they can obtain official status. But why... you don't agree? You even ask me to not become an official even if I obtain official status?"
"Have you forgotten what I once said to you?" Guo Yi sighed.
"My father taught me a lesson, and my child never forgets it!" Guo Nian looked at Guo Yi seriously and said, "It's just that everyone has his own ambitions, and his ambitions are in all directions. I am deeply favored by the country, how can I not serve the country, and how can I forget it?
