The Buddhist lady travels through ancient times to live a leisurely life

Xie Lang and the other two quickly stood up and took their leave, returning to their own courtyard to talk.

Xie An is only 6 years old now and still lives in his parents' courtyard. After he turns 7, he will move out and live in his own courtyard.

After the three men left, the old marquis asked the servants to leave as well, and then he said to the old lady, "Listen to what you are saying. If Dalang really listens to you, he will become arrogant and rude wherever he goes. With such a character, who would be willing to make friends with him in the future?"

Madam Xie shrugged it off: "I just taught him to be modest. Besides, he is of noble status, so naturally there are many people who are willing to make friends with him."

The old marquis was so angry that he laughed. How sincere can those who come to you for friendship because of your status be? Those who come to you for friendship because of your status are all people of lower status than you. Your circle of friends will continue to decline, and over time, you will also decline. Their Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will also decline.

At that time, maybe those who had been eager to curry favor with you before will turn around and step on you. After all, they were flattering you before, and they must have felt very aggrieved. Now that their status has been reversed with great difficulty, shouldn’t they make up for it?

"According to what you said, Dalang will be surrounded by a group of people whose family backgrounds and talents are inferior to his. He will make friends with these flatterers and gradually become like them. He may even be led worse and worse by them. Our family will continue to go downhill."

The old lady was a little surprised. "Why do you think so? Dalang is not the only one around him. Of course, the people he associates with are of similar status, or even higher status than him."

These low-status people are just having fun.

The old marquis sneered: "Who would be willing to make friends with such an arrogant and rude person if they are of similar status? We are of similar status, why should others tolerate his arrogance? People with higher status than him will look down on him even more!"

Just like you want to treat people of lower status than Dalang as toys, if Dalang's character is not good enough, those who are higher than him will only treat him as a toy. Who will really make friends with him? An arrogant little toy will only arouse people's desire for destruction.

Thinking of this, the old marquis almost broke out in a sweat. He must not let his wife interfere in the upbringing of his grandson. Don't teach a good child bad things!

The old marquis continued, "Don't worry about Dalang's affairs from now on. He has his own parents to take care of him. We are all old now, so we should just enjoy our old age."

The old lady is not stupid.

"…Are you dissatisfied with my inability to teach children?"

The old marquis avoided the question and said, "I just don't want you to work hard. Raising a child is a hard job, so don't let it get you down."

The old lady didn't speak.

The old marquis warned again: "Don't take my words lightly. Dalang's upbringing should be left to his parents. Don't interfere."

His tone was so serious that the old lady's eyes suddenly turned red.

"When my son was young, you wouldn't let me discipline him and gave him to his grandmother. Now it's my turn to be a grandmother, but you tell me not to worry about him because I'm old and to let his parents take care of him. In the end, you just look down on me. I'm this old, and I'm living like this. What's the point of living?"

She said while wiping tears.

The old marquis was so annoyed by her nagging that he closed his eyes and rubbed his temples without saying a word.
