Su Ming said discontentedly, "There are so many things like playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting that need to be learned, you should give us so space too. Fubao, that girl, has a high talent in classical music. If it weren’t for her not liking oil painting, I would have wanted to take her as my student directly."
Father Lu sat beside them smiling, feeling honored as it was his granddaughter being praised.
He truly didn’t expect that among this generation of grandchildren, the one with the most talent and willingness to pursue painting and calligraphy as a lifelong goal would be a granddaughter, not a grandson.
Although the Lu Family was isolated in a corner, appearing to outsiders as just a small landlord’s family, they were indeed a family that valued poetry and books. Unfortunately, up to now, the only ones who liked painting and calligraphy were the daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
Tianjun joined the military, Tianzhi had a special interest in foreign languages, and although Xibao had talent, his ambition did not lie there. The triplets had decent calligraphy and Zhuangzhuang also learned painting, but it was evident that none had the intention for deep learning.
Father Lu couldn’t help but place his hopes on his granddaughter, deciding to cultivate her well.
"Biting off more than you can chew!" Wen Ruyu directly replied to Su Ming with this sentence, then said to Fubao, who was outside in the courtyard painting magnolias on the tree, "Girl, let tell you, you have to prioritize when learning things. We can’t master everything, human energy is limited after all. Spending too much ti on one thing shortens the ti for others, making it counterproductive."
With a smile at the corner of her mouth, Fubao put down the last stroke, turned around and said, "Grandpa Wen, rest assured, Mom has also told this principle. I like painting the most, and I will never reduce the ti I spend painting each day; everything else is secondary."
She had a special admiration for the multitalented won in history, each was so unmatched in elegance, so she wanted to learn more things. Having more skills doesn’t weigh you down, but her focus would always remain on painting and calligraphy.
Wen Ruyu was satisfied with her answer, then sighed, "Your brother’s talent is no less than yours, he has been learning with us for so many years, yet sadly he’s not focused on his career!"
Fubao smiled gently, "My brother is practical, how is he not focused on his career? I paint only to cultivate my own sentints and talent, but what my brother studies is related to people’s livelihoods and will surely benefit thousands of households in the future."
She vaguely guessed the path her brother intended to take, which was not limited to law or politics, but she didn’t know exactly what he planned.
Her brother was the best brother, multitalented, both filial and brotherly, and had a heart of compassion, no one should speak ill of him!
Wen Ruyu quickly waved his hand, "I didn’t say anything bad about your brother, he is excellent. Qin Huai, upon eting him once, already had the intention of taking him as a student."
"Master Qin?" Fubao thought for a mont, recalling that he was a very powerful lawyer before, and he strongly supported won’s legal rights, helping many abandoned won secure their due interests in marriage during the 1930s and 1940s.
Wen Ruyu nodded, "Qin Huai was invited by Capital University and might teach this year’s law students. Moreover, he is one of the staff involved in drafting new national laws."
If it weren’t for this, why would he have invited Xibao here?
Father Lu, upon hearing this, suddenly stood up and cupped his hand in thanks, "Brother Wen, thank you for your kind intentions, it’s truly their fortune to have an elder like you planning for their future."
Wen Ruyu laughed heartily, "As long as you don’t mind ddling. With Ajiang and Xiaoxue’s current status and connections, you really don’t need a ddleso old man like worrying about the children’s futures."
