Chapter 1192: Pleasing
Fan Zijin arranged for the six children to stay in the Prince’s Residence for the time being. He no longer mentioned teaching them about schemes, but strictly forbade them from doing childish things like dealing with Mu Bowen. He said, "If you really dislike him, you can complain to the adults or keep your displeasure to yourself. However, you have to be respectful to him on the surface because he’s your elder."
"It doesn’t matter as much since Mu Bowen is open-minded. But if you encounter someone who is narrow-minded and open-minded, they may bear a grudge after being teased by you and you wouldn’t have any idea." Fan Zijin said in a low voice, "The most taboo thing in the bureaucracy is to have hidden enemies because they usually won’t attack you or even your family and friends when things are fine. However, at critical moments, they don’t mind giving you a push when there’s a chance. That is what is most dangerous."
The three older children opened their mouths wide. After a while, Little An said softly, "Uncle Mu doesn’t seem like that kind of person."
Fan Zijin looked at him solemnly and asked, "You also said ’seem’. Can you guarantee that everyone you tease is a magnanimous person?"
Little An was silent. Little Lion and Tiger Head looked around and started to think seriously. In the end, they also frowned in distress.
Fan Zijin said calmly, "Let’s talk about what kind of person I am first."
Tiger Head was the first to shout, "Second Uncle is the smartest person."
Smiling, Fan Zijin asked, "Is that a good person?"
