"Then I have to study hard and read well. When I grow up, I want to be admitted to the Imperial College."

"Yes, the only way for the children of our grandfather's Xu family is to study."

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Xu Yingwei first put his son down from the horse, then turned over and dismounted, then held the horse with one hand and his son's little hand with the other as he headed home.

During this period, I passed by the entrance of Cuntou Private School.

Seeing Xu Yingwei and his son being so close, the private school teacher couldn't help but shake his head.

Xu Yingwei didn't care about this. If it were four years ago, Xu Yingwei would never have been so close to his son, because Confucianism advocates that a gentleman embraces grandchildren but not sons.

But now, Xu Yingwei no longer agrees that a gentleman embraces grandchildren rather than sons.

Under the fierce attack of the reformists, the embankment of feudal ethics is gradually loosening, and the first to bear the brunt are etiquette and laws that are contrary to human ethics, such as "a gentleman embraces grandchildren but not children."

Xu Yingwei scorned such etiquette.
