Chapter 58: No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than me?
"I have poor study... will my father like it?" Zhu Yunxiu was also a little confused when he heard Li Jie's words. This principle seemed to make no sense?
"What do you think of me, Emperor Grandson?" Li Jie did not rush to explain, but asked again.
"What's going on?"
"Do you think your father value me?" Li Jie asked patiently again.
"Of course, I attach great importance to it. You are so young that you are my father's companion, and you are riding a hot air balloon to the sky. This is an unprecedented achievement. Moreover, when you came today, my father took time to receive it in person. This is the first time I have seen this treatment." Zhu Yunxiu also showed an envious expression when he said this. He felt that his father was even more close to Li Jie than his son.
Originally, Zhu Yunxiu was a little disgusted with Li Jie because when Zhu Biao introduced Li Jie before, he said that he was here to urge them to study, but Zhu Yunxiu became tired of studying, and of course he had no good feelings for Li Jie. However, after the current conversation, he completely changed his original idea.
"That's it, but you definitely don't know. In fact, I'm even worse at studying, and I can't even memorize the Analects of Confucius now!" Li Jie said in a brutal way, and was not ashamed at all.
"This is impossible, you must be comforting me!" Zhu Yunxiu didn't believe it at all. After all, in his opinion, Li Jieneng flew into the sky and became his father's confidant. How could he be a ignorant person?
"Come on, you will know at a glance!" Li Jie did not defend himself, but reached out to take the paper and pen on the table, and then wrote down his name. This was also the most skillful word he wrote.
Zhu Yunyu didn't understand why Li Jie wanted to write at first, but when he saw the name Li Jie wrote, he frowned. The two words "Li Jie" were crooked and were simply terrible. At most, it was a little better than children's graffiti, without any beauty.
"See it, this is the word I wrote. What do you think people who write such words can achieve academic success?" Li Jie put down his pen and asked again. He had never written calligraphy in his previous life, and he had no time to practice after traveling through time, so the words he wrote were only a barely definite. Even some craftsmen in the Military Arts Bureau who were proficient in writing were better than him.
"You...you really didn't write it so ugly on purpose?" Zhu Yunxiu looked at Li Jie's handwriting and finally asked with some doubts. If his handwriting was written like this, his father might have broken off the father-son relationship with him.
"To be honest, I got a serious illness last year, had a problem with my brain, and I forgot a lot of things. I used to return all the books I read to Confucius and couldn't write them, but so what? It took me only a few months to get the attention of your father, and now I am even designated by Your Majesty as the prince's companion. No matter how poor your studies are, can you still be worse than me?" Li Jie asked back directly.
Zhu Yunxi was shocked when he heard this. Yes, even those who started over after serious illness, who could get the weight of his father and the emperor's grandfather. Why can't he do it?
However, before Zhu Yunxiu could cheer up, he suddenly felt like he was deflated and said, "No, we are different. Even if you don't study, you are a talented person. But if I don't study, my father will only hate me even more!"
"I didn't let you not study!" Li Jie saw that the other party had a wrong understanding and hurriedly explained, "I just wanted to tell Your Highness that you may not be as good as the eldest grandson in terms of study, but studying is not the whole of a person. You can think about making up for it from other aspects!"
Although Li Jie only came for one day, he also realized that Zhu Yunwen was very talented in studying. It was hard to surpass Zhu Yunwen in studying. Even after being hit hard in this regard, Zhu Yunwen's personality became very inferior and cowardly. Li Jie used his example to inspire his fighting spirit.
"Then where should I make up for it?" Zhu Yunxi asked immediately. He also hoped to get his father's recognition and love, but since childhood, he was not as good as Zhu Yunwen in everything. Now he has given up on himself and can't get interested in anything he does.
"This requires your highness to think about it yourself. After all, it is not convenient for outsiders to interfere in such family matters!" Li Jie smiled again.
Zhu Yunxi's biggest problem is that he is too inferior and cannot be interested in anything. Therefore, Li Jie wants Zhu Yunxi to think, judge, and finally make a decision and act. Only when he takes the initiative to do these can he truly change.
"Do I want to think about it myself?" Zhu Yunxiu was a little discouraged when he heard this, and then he lost his strength, "I can't do it. I don't know what I can do, and I don't know where to make up for my academic shortcomings."
Li Jie was speechless when he saw Zhu Yunxiu's appearance. This guy was really muddy and couldn't stand it. He had already pointed out a clear path for him, but he still couldn't cheer up and gave up just a little difficulty.
But Li Jie would not give up easily. After he hesitating for a while, he finally decided to take a trick, so he spoke again: "Your Highness, I heard that your mother has passed away, right?"
"You...what are you asking for this?" Sure enough, when Li Jie mentioned his deceased mother, Zhu Yunxiu sat upright and his little face turned red. If he hadn't had some good feelings for Li Jie, he might have been preparing to hit someone now. After all, his mother was the most sensitive issue in his heart.
"Your Highness, don't get me wrong. Your mother is gone, you have a sister..."
"Two!" Zhu Yunxiu corrected.
"Oh, two sisters!" Li Jie was also stunned. He didn't expect that Zhu Yunxiu had two sisters, so which one he wanted to marry?
But now is not the time to consider this issue, so Li Jie continued again: "In other words, your mother is gone, leaving you siblings to depend on each other for life. You are the only boy. As the saying goes, a real man, you will definitely be responsible for taking care of and protecting your two sisters in the future. After all, you can't let two weak women protect you, right?"
Li Jie's words were really unintentional mistakes, because he didn't know that Zhu Yunyu was indeed protected by his two sisters.
Zhu Yunxi felt his little face burning, as if he had been slapped a few times, but he did not become angry because of this. Instead, he realized for the first time that he could no longer let his two sisters shelter him from the wind and rain like before, which made Zhu Yunxi's heart something called responsibility begin to quietly sprout.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi's red face and tightly clenched fists, Li Jie was also happy. His words really worked, but this kind of thing was not urgent, so he finally patted Zhu Yunxi's shoulder and said, "Your Highness, you should think about my words carefully, and you don't have to rush to make a decision. After all, you are still young and have time in the future!"
