Chapter 1135 The Details Determine Success or Failure
Ever since her children came to school in the capital, Jiang Jiuniang has rarely cared about their studies. After all, the teaching resources here are the best and the children have worked hard, so there is no need for her to say anything more. But now, She had to take action.

She decided to take a few children out for a walk and enlighten them.

They were specially instructed to put on rich clothes and go out together to show off.

The kids were a little confused, but they did as they were told.

Jiang Jiuniang took them around the city and then to the poor villages in the countryside to see how different people lived. They didn't go home until the sun went down.

"After watching it all day, what are your thoughts?"

Finally it was time to summarize, and the three of them were all a little nervous. They really didn't see the meaning of what the third aunt did today.

Several people lowered their heads and looked embarrassed. This was an unprecedented situation.

However, Jiang Jiuniang knew that they received the education of masters in the Imperial College, and they had to take exams for merit and fame, otherwise studying would be meaningless.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Jiuniang didn't expect them to say anything nice, so she changed the question and asked: "Do you still remember why I sent you to school from the beginning?"

Jie Zi immediately replied: "Auntie said that only by studying can you have a future."

Xiao Huzi said: "It is to let everyone live a good life!"

Leizi thought for a while and then spoke carefully: "Auntie just wants us to learn and be literate so that we can have more ways to make a living than others in the future."

Jiang Jiuniang nodded: "You are all right. I have said a lot, but I have never asked you to get a degree, right?"

Everyone was silent. Xiao Huzi was fine, but Leizi and Jiezi were visibly depressed.Jiang Jiuniang continued: "The most important thing about studying is to make people improve their self-cultivation, know etiquette and observe etiquette, and speak with restraint, instead of being like the second-rate people on the street who only spit shit when they open their mouths. As for the examination of merit and fame, only on the basis of these, there are If you have the ability, just try it. If you don’t have the ability, don’t force it.”

"Some people spend their whole lives taking the exam for fame, but never pay attention to other things around them. Such a life is meaningless. Taking the exam for fame is just a small stage in a long life. You are now taking the exam to become a scholar. After that, you will have to take the exam for the Juren and Jinshi. Then How should you deal with it? Relax, it's not a big deal."

Jiang Jiuniang said, patting their shoulders. Now, there is not much she can do to help them.

"Auntie, I want to take the No. [-] exam and come back to compete for my mother and Lianhua."

Lei Zi clenched his fists and looked very serious.

He was quite confident in himself at first, but after he went to the Imperial College, he heard people around him say it was difficult, and the gentlemen repeatedly told him to be careful in reviewing the questions. As time went by, he gradually lost confidence.

"Leizi, although I know you have good intentions, I still want to make it clear to you. You are taking the exam for yourself and to fulfill your own ambitions. Don't say it is for your mother and Lotus. Don't impose such ideas. On your mother and Lotus."

Jiang Jiuniang is very worried about his thoughts. In the future, whenever she quarrels over trivial matters, she will just say: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't..."

Leizi was a little confused. Before this, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his thinking this way, but after hearing what the third aunt said, he seemed to think it made sense.It has always been his own wish to obtain fame, so how could he say it was for the sake of Lotus and his mother?

The people around him were obviously just piggybackers, but how could he push this onto them?
"I understand, Auntie, I won't say that next time."

He lowered his head, looking a little guilty, which made people feel unbearable.

But Jiang Jiuniang still said: "Although I know you don't have that idea, it's wrong to say that. Everything you do is for yourself, and it is you who will benefit the most. Never do things on the pretext of 'for whom' , not only will your own thoughts change, but the people around you will also be affected by you and live in self-blame."

"I say this not only to Lei Zi, but also to you two, do you understand?"

They are all children she has watched grow up, and Jiang Jiuniang doesn't want them to grow crooked, otherwise the prosperity of the Lu family will not last for a few more years.

"we know."

The three children nodded repeatedly, feeling that every time they chatted with the third aunt, they gained something different.

Their parents don't have this awareness, and even if they do, they don't know how to talk to them, which makes them think that these are correct, and even lead to trouble.

Jiang Jiuniang said again: "You are still young. Even if you don't pass the exam this time, you can just take the exam next time. In recent years, the court has lacked capable people, and the emperor will increase the number of scientific exams. You have plenty of opportunities to take the exam, so why bother about these one or two times?" Failure? If you can't even accept such a failure, it means that your endurance is very weak, and it will be difficult for you to achieve great things in the future."

After saying this, the carriage slowly stopped at the door of Lu's house. Lu Baichuan had been waiting for it for a long time. When the carriage stopped, he took the initiative to help his wife out of the car.

The three boys behind him followed him with nonchalant expressions. Although they couldn't be said to be suddenly enlightened, their mood was indeed much better than before.

The three of them followed Jiang Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan eagerly all the way, and took them back to the main courtyard before going back their separate ways.

Lu Baichuan felt sorry for her and said, "They are all grown up and have their own ideas. They will understand many things gradually. Why do you worry about it?"

Jiang Jiuniang did not answer his question directly, but asked: "When you left home to become a escort, was it for yourself or me?"

Lu Baichuan looked at her, the expression on his face was hard to describe. At that time, she was not the same as she is now, and the two had just gotten married, how could it be for her?

"For myself, I want to go out and see the outside world and find opportunities to make a difference."

"Well, that's your normal thought. But what Leizi said today was that he was taking the merit examination for the sake of Lotus and his sister-in-law. But it happened that this was not what Lotus and his sister-in-law asked him to do at all. He thought so himself, and he opened his mouth to say It's for them. Maybe it doesn't mean anything to you, but it seems to me to be a very serious matter. This is the beginning of shirking responsibility. When a person starts to shirk responsibility, that person is not far from failure. .”

Jiang Jiuniang knew that maybe Lu Baichuan couldn't understand her thoughts, and that thinking like that was a sign of Leizi's concern for her family, but it was really hard to say what the hidden dangers were.

But she underestimated Lu Baichuan's ability to understand. When she said this, Lu Baichuan understood that she had good intentions. Details determine success or failure. He had to learn from his wife in terms of childcare.
