The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

"Can I ask you for advice?" Master Liu was almost laughing out of anger. "What can I ask you for? Can I ask you how to attract cats, dogs and crickets?"

Jiang Suining curled his lips. Master Liu's description was quite accurate.

"Master, please don't look down on me. No matter how uneducated I am, I have at least studied for a few years. It's only her first day in school today, so it's normal for her to ask me for advice."

Master Liu frowned, but did not rush to deny Jiang Mushi's words. Instead, he turned to look at Jiang Suining.

"Miss Jiang, is what your brother said true?"

Jiang Mushi, who was standing behind Master Liu, immediately made a gesture to Jiang Suining to ask for help.

He has been in a lot of trouble recently. If he can't appease Master Liu, the other party might run home to find his father in anger.

Seeing Jiang Mushi's expression, Jiang Suining smiled in his heart, slowly stood up, and shook his head in response to Master Liu's inquiring gaze, "No."

"Jiang Suining!" Jiang Mushi was furious.

Indeed, he shouldn't have expected Jiang Suining to help him.

Master Liu's face darkened again, "Jiang Mushi, what else do you have to say now!"

"Master, I, I..."

"Master." Jiang Suining interrupted Jiang Mushi, glanced at him, and continued, "What Mushi said just now is indeed not true, because it was not me who asked him for advice, but he who asked me for advice."

"He asked you for advice?" Master Liu asked in a puzzled tone.

Jiang Suining nodded, "That's right. Just now the Master mentioned that those who know themselves don't blame others, and those who know their fate don't blame heaven. Mu Shi didn't quite understand what he meant, so he asked me if I understood."

Master Liu saw that Jiang Suining's expression showed no problem, so he looked at Jiang Mushi again, "Really?"

Jiang Mushi looked at Jiang Suining and met her smiling eyes. Although he felt aggrieved, he still nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I was asking her. The students are really listening to the class seriously."

Forget it, it’s better to let Jiang Suining be proud than to be complained about by Master Liu when he gets home!

Master Liu was half-believing and half-doubting, "Then tell me where this sentence came from and how to explain it."

Jiang Mushi's face froze. Not to mention what it meant, he even forgot what Jiang Suining had just said.

Looking at Jiang Mushi's bewildered expression, Master Liu was annoyed again, "Rotten wood!"

Turning around, she saw Jiang Suining still standing there, so she spoke again: "Since you said he was asking you for advice, then as his sister, you should tell me what you meant by that sentence just now?"

Seeing that everyone in the school was looking at him along with Master Liu, Jiang Suining spoke slowly.

"Those who know themselves do not blame others, and those who know their destiny do not blame heaven. This sentence comes from Xunzi, which means that those who know themselves will not blame others, and those who control their own destiny will not blame heaven. What it wants to tell us is that life is full of changes, and we may face various difficulties and challenges. Instead of blaming others, it is better to find solutions to problems from ourselves."

"Well said!" Master Liu was a little surprised.

He had just taught these two sentences and had not had time to explain them, nor did he expect Jiang Suining to fully understand them. Now that he heard the answer, his expression looked much better, and he looked at Jiang Suining with a little more care than at the beginning.

"Then do you know what the second half of this sentence is?"

"He who blames others is poor, and he who blames heaven has no ambition. If you blame others for your own failures, isn't that stupid?"

Jiang Suining suddenly remembered Gu Nian'an's crazy look during the fire. It was clearly her own choice, but she blamed everything on the Jiang family and even on herself.

If you lose yourself, others will suffer the same fate...

Unfortunately, Gu Nian'an did not understand this truth in his previous life.

Master Liu originally thought that Jiang Suining was just here for something new, and that his knowledge was probably just literacy at best. However, he never expected that he had actually read Xunzi and even understood its meaning.

Then he asked a few more questions, and Jiang Suining answered them one by one. After the conversation, Master Liu looked at Jiang Suining with more and more satisfaction, and even Jiang Mushi was not pursued any further.

Jiang Mushi, who was usually unlearned and could hardly remember anything in class, remembered for the first time the saying "He who blames others is poor, and he who blames the heaven has no ambition."

In a blink of an eye, today's classes are over and it's time to dismiss.

At the entrance of the academy, the Jiang family's carriage was already waiting.

Jiang Suining wanted to ask Jiang Mushi if he wanted to ride with her, but before she could open her mouth, the young man named Liu Jun whispered something in Jiang Mushi's ear, and the two of them ran off in another direction in a hurry.

Jiang Suining frowned slightly and looked away, and at this time Lin Ziqing, who came out of the academy, walked to her side.

"Miss Jiang." Lin Ziqing greeted with a smile.

Jiang Suining looked at him, "Mr. Lin."

"Miss Jiang, are you planning to go home?" Lin Ziqing asked as he looked at the carriage parked there.

The carriage was quite nice, and there was a coachman who had chosen the right time to wait. It seemed that the Jiang family cared about their newly adopted daughter.

However, the rumor is vague and I don’t know whether Jiang Suining is the real daughter of the Jiang family or just an adopted daughter?

Also, the Jiang family and the Han family each brought back a daughter almost at the same time, which was a bit of a coincidence...

Noticing Lin Ziqing's inquiring gaze, Jiang Suining said calmly, "Yes, Mr. Lin, is there anything wrong?"

"It's nothing big. It's just that our Lin family is also in business, and we have always had a good relationship with the Jiang family and other merchants. If Sister Jiang encounters any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me!" Lin Ziqing still had a smile on his face.

This familiar address would probably make someone with a thin skin feel embarrassed. However, Jiang Suining did not change his expression, but smiled at him calmly, "Thank you, brother Lin."

Lin Ziqing is one year older than me, so this name is not wrong.

Lin Ziqing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Suining to be so polite. "Sister Jiang, you're welcome. You..."

"Brother Lin, actually there are some things I don't quite understand right now, and I want to ask you for advice." Jiang Suining interrupted Lin Ziqing with a smile.

She naturally knew what the other party wanted to say. She first tried to get close to him and then tried to find out the information. With this smiling face, Lin Ziqing had a high success rate with this tactic.

However, she still wanted to rely on him to get information. If it was so easy for him to achieve his goal and interrogate her clearly, then Lin Ziqing probably would not take the initiative to approach her.

Lin Ziqing temporarily put aside the question and said readily: "Just ask me anything you want. I'll tell you everything I know."

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Jiang Suining thanked him with a smile. He looked at the students who were leaving one after another and said, "I want to know if there are any elders in the academy who have frequent contacts with our two families or have a very good relationship with them. If so, who are they?"

"Of course, just like..." Lin Ziqing was about to speak, but suddenly stopped, and looked at Jiang Suining inquiringly, "Why do you ask this, Sister Jiang?"
