Chapter 82 Teaching the Younger Generation
Every morning, Su Jinxiu was always the first to get up and personally supervise the younger generation's morning reading. She set an example by sitting upright and reading the classics attentively, and seeing her diligence, the younger generation dared not slack off in the slightest.
"Reading is not just about memorizing words and sentences, but also about understanding the principles behind them, and learning to think and apply them," Su Jinxiu often taught them.
In the afternoons, Su Jinxiu would personally attend the training sessions at the martial arts arena to watch the younger generation train. When someone wanted to give up because of the hardship, she would recount the difficulties she had faced and how she overcame them with her unwavering will.
"In this world, there is no success without hard work. Only by putting in the effort can you achieve something." Su Jinxiu's words inspire every younger generation.
When handling the affairs of the Marquis's residence, Su Jinxiu would also have the younger generation observe and learn from her.
On one occasion, a dispute arose among tenant farmers at one of the Marquis's estates. Su Jinxiu, along with Xiao Ming and Xiao Yu, went to resolve the matter.
“Observe carefully how I communicate with the tenant farmers, how I find the key to the problem and solve it,” Su Jinxiu said.
She listened patiently to the tenant farmers' demands and handled the issues fairly and justly, thus protecting the interests of the Marquis's mansion while winning the tenant farmers' hearts and minds.
Xiao Ming couldn't help but exclaim, "Madam's handling of matters is truly masterful."
Su Jinxiu smiled and said, "When handling affairs, one must know how to put oneself in another's shoes and also have the ability to make decisive decisions."
In addition to imparting knowledge and skills, Su Jinxiu also focused on cultivating the character and magnanimity of her younger generation.
She would lead the younger generation to visit and comfort impoverished people, teaching them to care for others; and when they made mistakes, she would give them stern criticism and guidance, making them understand the importance of responsibility and accountability.
Under Su Jinxiu's careful guidance, Xiao Ming gradually demonstrated outstanding leadership skills and began to be able to handle some simple matters independently; Xiao Yu's poetry also gained some fame in the capital, winning much praise for the Marquis's mansion.
However, just when everything was going well, an accident occurred.
The Marquis's mansion hosted a grand banquet, inviting many powerful and influential figures from the capital. During the banquet, Xiao Ming, acting impulsively, got into a conflict with a son of a powerful and influential family.
"Who do you think you are, daring to run wild in the Marquis's mansion!" Xiao Ming said angrily.
This conflict instantly made the atmosphere at the banquet tense.
Upon learning of this, Su Jinxiu immediately rushed to the scene.
"Xiao Ming, apologize to the guest right now!" Su Jinxiu said sternly.
Xiao Ming was indignant: "He provoked me first, why should I apologize?"
Su Jinxiu lowered her voice and said, "This is not the place to argue about right and wrong. The reputation of the Marquis's mansion cannot be damaged because of your impulsiveness."
Under Su Jinxiu's insistence, Xiao Ming finally apologized.
After the banquet, Su Jinxiu called Xiao Ming to her study.
"Do you know how reckless you were today?" Su Jinxiu questioned.
Xiao Ming lowered his head: "Madam, I know I was wrong."
Su Jinxiu sighed: "In this kind of situation, we must learn to be patient and restrained. We represent the Marquis's mansion, and we cannot easily get into conflicts with others."
After this incident, Xiao Ming deeply realized his mistakes and worked harder to study and correct them.
As time went by, the younger generation of the Marquis's family became increasingly outstanding under Su Jinxiu's tutelage. But just then, a mysterious invitation once again shattered the peace of the Marquis's mansion...
